Follow the bouncing ball

Hospitals have paths marked on their floors directing patients to the x-ray department, the exit, waiting rooms etc. These allow us to send the patients without escorts like nurses or porters. It saves the hospital money but allows the nurses to help other patients. It gives the patients some autonomy to get themselves from the ED to imaging. It also leads to them getting lost then feeling goofy for needing to ask for directions.
