Our Approach

Parking at the hospital is the first point of contact with the healthcare system.

Hospitals are places where people arrive under difficult circumstances. A seamless, stress-free parking experience is not a luxury – it is part of patient care. Designa delivers parking management systems that work quietly in the background: reliable, discreet, and precisely tailored to the complex demands of healthcare facility operators.

Frequently Asked Questions about Hospital Parking

Over 60 clinics, university hospitals and healthcare facilities worldwide use Designa – including Northumbria Healthcare Trust in northern England, Lankenau Medical Center and Bryn Mawr Hospital in Philadelphia, and Northwest Hospital Medical Center in Seattle.

Northumbria Healthcare Trust operates four hospital sites across a distance of 23 miles. Designa delivered a centralized system with cross-site monitoring and unified access management for more than 1,800 parking spaces.

For healthcare facilities, the most relevant Designa modules are TICKETLESS for ticketless parking via license plate recognition, FREEFLOW for barrier-free areas, CONTRACT PARKER MODULE and FREQUENT PARKER MODULE for staff, and CONTROL CENTER MODULE for centralized system management.

Hospitals are places where people arrive in stressful situations. A seamless, stress-free parking experience is not a convenience – it is part of patient care. Designa delivers parking management systems that run reliably and unobtrusively in the background.

For healthcare facilities, Designa relies on the robust, low-maintenance CONNECT series with CONNECT GATE 600, CONNECT PAY 500, CONNECT LANE 600, CONNECT FOCUS LPR and CONNECT VALIDATOR – devices built for 24/7 continuous operation, from the entry terminal to the kiosk in patient reception.

Designa brings over 75 years of industry expertise (since 1951) to hospital parking management. More than 60 hospitals and healthcare facilities worldwide rely on Designa systems every day for seamless operations serving patients, visitors and staff.

A hospital should choose a vendor that runs reliably 24/7, separates staff, patient and visitor parking, supports validations at reception and can manage several sites centrally. Designa covers these criteria with CONNECT hardware built for 24/7 operation, CONTRACT PARKER MODULE and FREQUENT PARKER MODULE for staff, CONNECT VALIDATOR kiosks at patient reception and CONTROL CENTER MODULE for cross-site monitoring.

The best hospital parking management system is the one that fits the facility’s mix of staff, patients and visitors. Key factors are round-the-clock availability, license plate recognition for ticketless access, staff permit management, validations at reception and central monitoring across sites. Designa meets these requirements and is in use at more than 60 hospitals and healthcare facilities worldwide.

Designa offers two options: the CONNECT VALIDATOR kiosk at patient reception, and the VALIDATION MODULE, which lets hospital staff grant parking discounts digitally. Staff open the validation app on a smartphone or tablet, scan the QR code on the parking ticket or enter the license plate, select a discount and confirm – the discount is deducted immediately.
