 *'''Costly but efficient solution:''' Develop a GPS kind of tool that would assist for directions inside the hospital. This could be made reusable. Further, some games can be integrated in this gadget (There are many popular hand held games which could keep the children engaging)
 *'''Intermediate Solution:''' Use destination specific RFIDs which can guide you. A RFID scanner can be installed in specific junctions which could then guide you to proceed in the appropriate direction. Like, the RFID scanner could be integrated with some audio output system which would say "Turn Left", "Take the Elevator to your left for the first floor" and so on...

-Lot of themes and icons have been used to overcome this problem. For example, DJ on 9/13 mentioned about the flower elevator and butterfly elevator. But I am puzzled how helpful will these iconic symbols be especially in a hospital, where people don't have the patience or rather composure to follow these iconic symbols or themes.
