Purpose

The main aim of this paper is to describe the potential benefits of enterprise building information models (EBIMs) for health-care institutions. The main research question addressed is how data from EBIM could be leveraged to create value for hospitals beyond design, construction and traditional facility management.

Design/methodology/approach

Three different prototypes, which use different technologies in combination with EBIM, are described to illustrate different uses of EBIM within the context of a hospital and health-care operations. The case study approach has been used to present the prototypes.

Findings

EBIM data, in combination with other data sources, increases the potential benefits of the data with respect to many health-care-related processes, during the operation of a health-care institution. The benefits of EBIM span beyond the design and construction life cycle phases of a hospital and provide value to a variety of stakeholders in multiple health-care-related processes.

Research limitations/implications

The main limitation of this work is the limited sources of data and information such as the specific methods that were used in the design and development of each of the prototypes and a deeper insight into the design rationale and decisions. Another limitation of this paper is that the findings have not been validated.

Practical implications

This study demonstrates the value of convergence of a number of technologies such as EBIM, data and different types of technologies, throughout the life cycle of a building. This study also highlights the value of building information models (BIMs) data for supporting the design of novel educational and other types of application areas. The practical implications include the value for multiple stakeholders, such as resources planning, fleet and equipment management and contract negotiation. Benefits identified for resource planning can have strategic and financial implications at the management level. For patients, visitors and health-care personnel, there may be reduced infections, cleaner and pleasant facilities as well as a reduction of time to find relevant resources.

Social implications

Social implications" could be replaced by "For patients, visitors and health-care personnel, there may be cleaner and pleasant facilities and easy navigation support through the hospital. Furthermore, enhanced access to knowledge and information about the artefact and assets in the hospital can enhance learning and knowledge sharing.

Originality/value

This study identifies the lack of research in using BIM with other data for value-added services for multiple stakeholders in the operations phase of a hospital and addresses that research gap.

通过企业在医疗保健服务中建立信息模型来增加价值

目的

本文的主要目的是描述企业建筑信息模型 (EBIM) 对医疗保健机构的潜在好处。解决的主要研究问题是如何利用 EBIM 的数据为医院创造超越设计、施工和传统设施管理的价值。

设计/方法/途径

描述了三种不同的原型，它们结合了 EBIM 使用不同的技术，以说明 EBIM 在医院和医疗保健运营环境中的不同用途。案例研究方法已用于展示原型。

发现

EBIM 数据与其他数据源相结合，在医疗机构运营期间增加了数据在许多医疗相关流程方面的潜在优势。EBIM 的好处超越了医院的设计和施工生命周期阶段，并为多个医疗保健相关流程中的各种利益相关者提供了价值。

研究局限性/影响

这项工作的主要限制是数据和信息的来源有限，例如在每个原型的设计和开发中使用的具体方法以及对设计原理和决策的更深入洞察。本文的另一个局限性是研究结果尚未得到验证。

实际影响

本研究展示了在建筑物的整个生命周期中融合多种技术的价值，例如 EBIM、数据和不同类型的技术。本研究还强调了建筑信息模型 (BIM) 数据在支持新型教育和其他类型应用领域设计方面的价值。实际影响包括对多个利益相关者的价值，例如资源规划、车队和设备管理以及合同谈判。为资源规划确定的收益可以在管理层面产生战略和财务影响。对于患者、访客和医护人员来说，感染可能会减少，设施会更清洁和舒适，寻找相关资源的时间也会减少。

社会影响

社会影响”可以替换为“对于患者、来访者和医护人员来说，医院可能会有更清洁和舒适的设施以及轻松的导航支持。此外，加强对有关医院人工制品和资产的知识和信息的访问可以加强学习和知识共享。

原创性/价值

本研究确定了在医院运营阶段将 BIM 与其他数据一起用于为多个利益相关者提供增值服务的研究不足，并解决了这一研究差距。
