Navigating the hallways of St. Tammany Health System’s flagship St. Tammany Parish Hospital just got a whole lot easier.
The health system recently unveiled an electronic wayfinding system designed to guide visitors through the Covington hospital upon their arrival on campus.
The system isn’t designed to get people to the hospital from outside locations or to travel between the hospital and other STHS locations. But, according to health system Vice President / Chief Information Officer Craig Doyle, it should make navigating the ever-growing facility a breeze.
“Think of it as GPS for the hospital grounds once you’ve arrived,” Doyle said.
Users can access the system in two ways:
-- By clicking the “Hospital Map” icon near the top right of the health system’s website (StTammany.health) and entering their on-campus destination, users will get a map highlighting the route to that destination, along with printable “turn by turn” instructions.-- By clicking the “Hospital Map” icon on the health system’s mobile app – available both for Apple devices as well as for Android devices – users will get a dynamic map that uses a blue dot to mark their progress as they make their way to their requested destination.

“Anyone who has visited our campus recently knows it is just getting bigger and bigger,” Doyle said. “By leveraging this new technology, we hope to maintain the hospitable, user-friendly atmosphere for which St. Tammany Health System is known throughout the community.”
