Construction of hospitals, medical precincts, and facilities has become extremely challenging in these times. It is important for capital project administrators, architects and construction professionals to recognize changing trends and take the necessary shift in thinking about the healthcare infrastructure and project delivery. In addition to promoting efficacy and placing patients at ease, healthcare facilities need to be high-performing and sustainable. Consideration of these trends in healthcare planning and design can positively impact costs, patient experience, functional capabilities, and safety for staff.

Saving frontline healthcare professionals and patients amidst COVID-19 requires top-notch healthcare facilities. Managing the complexities of healthcare design and construction requires the full potential of BIM to deal with various aspects of the project. This includes communicating design intent, detecting and resolving problems as well as identifying future sustainability of hospitals.

As healthcare personnel continues to overcome the COVID-19 outbreak, it has become critical for governments and private stakeholders to build state-of-the-art healthcare facilities. The design and construction of modern hospitals come with its share of challenges through various complexities. Fueling quick, better, sustainable, and efficient healthcare design and construction requires the adoption of BIM to be mandatory. Early adoption of BIM helps present positive outcomes, better project quality, reduced timelines, and reduced infrastructure costs.

Healthcare Facilities need to integrate the requirements of medical professionals and patients. Design considerations to build a practical healthcare facility, medical infrastructure and laboratories require project-wide coordination and collaboration of various teams and trades. 3D BIM modeling provides an unmatched solution to enhance facility layouts, drive design innovation and augment facility performance across the entire healthcare facility lifecycle.

Building Information Modeling (BIM) transforms the healthcare construction industry by enhancing project design, coordination, and management. Leveraging BIM modeling for hospital infrastructure ensures the creation of highly detailed, information-rich, and coordinated BIM models that reduce the risk of errors, create better scheduling, achieve estimation accuracy, and help project managers develop customized infrastructure. This article explores six ways BIM streamlines healthcare facility development and leads to better buildings.
