Synopsis

BIM in Healthcare Infrastructure explores the application and implementation of BIM technology in the planning, design and construction of healthcare infrastructure.

Incorporating BIM within an internationally-applicable framework, this highly-illustrated reference guide uses case study organisations to navigate the key challenges to implementing BIM in the healthcare sector, such as motivating and training staff, overcoming resistance to change and developing the business case.

The larger obstacles to implementing BIM, lack of suitable legal framework, and absence of appropriate investment in BIM software are also discussed.

BIM in Healthcare Infrastructure:

• delivers the crucial context for the financial benefits of adopting BIM principles as seen by participants in the process of designing, constructing and refurbishing buildings
• includes over 50 international case study schemes from leading industry practices in the UK, Scandinavia, Netherlands, Middle East and Asia
• offers a concise definition for BIM and highlights key concepts such as BIM capability, BIM Maturity and the COBIE format
• illustrates how the appropriate use of BIM in healthcare infrastructure construction projects can improve time- and cost-effectiveness
• provides a reference to improve the quality of the healthcare environment, leading to zero carbon facilities that have a positive effect on staff and patient health and wellbeing.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

BIM in Healthcare Infrastructure is a guide to the implementation and application of BIM technology in the planning, design and construction of healthcare infrastructure to improve time- and cost-effectiveness in delivering zero carbon healthcare facilities that have a positive effect on staff and patient health. Starting with an introduction and overview of BIM, the guide goes on to detail the use of BIM in the planning, design and construction of healthcare infrastructure - complex buildings characterised by elaborate building services, structural elements or components and a variety of building systems. The key challenges to implementing BIM in this sector, such as motivating and training staff, overcoming resistance to change and developing the business case are highlighted through the inclusion of international case studies. These case studies are further analysed to draw out lessons that can be learned and applied to future healthcare facilities construction as well as generic lessons that can be applied to all sectors and the construction industry as a whole.
