The research finding indicate that orientation outpatient capability in the hospital installation exhibits a good level of familiarity, thereby facilitating patient orientation and navigation. However the space syantax results contrasting findings, indicating area that are diffuclt to perceive both visually and in term of distance to rooms, as well as area that serve as activity magnets for patient in the outpatient.
