Welcome, wayfinding and discharge escort — meeting.

Hospital disorientation has been a documented problem since the foundational wayfinding research of the 1980s (Carpman & Grant), and a 2025 study puts the disorientation rate at up to 30% of visitors, with missed appointments and delayed consultations as real consequences. Any care organization can name this exact packet for the two moments people most often get lost: arrival and discharge.

Pay

$85 proposed

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash — recorded, and readable any time at vealth.net/labor/credit/(your wallet). You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

welcome/escort log (date, time, who was met and where they needed to go, or who was escorted to transport at discharge) + for discharge: follow-up appointment date/time/place confirmed and written down together, or the gap named and routed back to the discharging unit + red flags recorded absent or routed (facility emergency response / clinical staff / 988 / Adult Protective Services or the state Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program)

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.

Bring

• a facility map or floor directory, and the day's own wayfinding signage as reference
• a written follow-up card for discharge escorts: the appointment date, time, place and who to call to reschedule
• the facility's own emergency-response activation method (call button, phone extension, or in-person alert to staff) confirmed at the start of a shift, and the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline number, the 211 referral line, and — depending on state and facility type — the state Long-Term Care Ombudsma
• a welcome/escort log (date, time, who was met or escorted, where they needed to go, what was confirmed)

Steps

1. 1. WELCOME: meet the arriving person at the entrance, ask where they need to go, and walk them there directly rather than pointing or describing directions; introduce yourself as a welcome guide, not a clinical staff member.
2. 2. Along the way, orient them to landmarks they can use again (elevator bank, a distinctive sign) so they can find their way back or return independently.
3. 3. DISCHARGE ESCORT: confirm with the unit's nursing or discharge staff that the patient is cleared to leave and that transport has arrived (or is arranged) before beginning the escort.
4. 4. Walk alongside the patient to their transport at their own pace; never physically support their weight or perform a transfer — if they are unsteady, stop and call for facility transport staff or nursing.
5. 5. Before parting, sit or stand with the patient and confirm the follow-up appointment's date, time and place together, and write it on the card; if none is scheduled, name the gap and route back to the discharging unit's own scheduling desk.
6. 6. Log the welcome or escort (who, where, what was confirmed); route anything not the escort's own to handle per the decision rules.

What counts as done

• Welcome/wayfinding: who was met at the door and where they were walked to, logged with date and time
• Discharge escort: the patient was walked from their unit to their transport, logged with date and time
• For discharge: the follow-up appointment's date, time and place confirmed and written down together, or the gap named and routed back to the discharging unit's own scheduling desk
• Every decision-rule red flag recorded as absent or routed as the rule says

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
