When you go to the hospital, you may already be anxious and stressed. Navigating the maze of a large hospital can be frustrating and being lost is the last thing you want to do when seeking treatment.

Christopher Strong, a geographic system analyst working on the project speaks about his Imagine Perfect Care statement and how this system can give patients more control over their health care.
