More and more hospitals are utilizing BIM (Building Information Model) into their projects to accurately measure and predict the possible outcome of the targeted building construction. However, some facilities still have doubt about the true benefits of BIM and remain unsure about the vast possibilities it may bring to your production cycle. This tool not only provides detailed visuals of the construction model but also assists with the coordination of the team members. This results into a collaborative effort from everyone in the production unit and reduces any avoidable flaws in designing health facilities. In this workshop, you will have a solid platform to discuss your current issues of developing your facility and hear from experts who have successfully utilized BIM into their projects.

What You Will Learn:

• Pros and Cons of using BIM during your project life cycle
• Functionality of BIM – explanation of how effectively BIM can be utilized for accurate results in reducing energy, maintaining sustainability, validating for security, and 4D phasing
• Cost concerns and how can you intelligent manage cost by using this tool
• Future predictions of BIM and analyze what other cutting edge technologies can aid the production team
• Case study of when and how BIM was utilized in a project

How You Will Benefit:

• Develop a strong understanding of when and how BIM has been utilized in a project
• Discuss future predictions of BIM and analyze what other cutting edge technologies can aid the production team
• Gain useful knowledge of the different possibilities of this tool

Building a health facility which encompasses all major components to appropriately serve patients, staff, and visitors requires a partnership and strong communications between the hospital and the entire production team.

Many factors play into designing a well equipped facility and this workshop will point out the essential ingredients needed for a solid facility project. With new building regulations on the charts and strict inspections, health professionals need to be aware of designing the facility intelligently, keeping the regulatory factors in mind.

What You Will Learn:

• Innovatively planning and constructing your health facility to so as to provide a safe, functional, supportive, and effective environment for patients, staff, and visitors within the hospital.
• New building regulations and how it affects the design of a facility.
• Impact of building regulations on your existing facility when planning an addition/renovation.
• Energy Usage and Sustainability – Accessing and implementing opportunities to improve energy usage and waste management during the planning of your facility.
• Accessiblity – Key points on how to make a health facility more accessible.
• Prioritizing the most important drivers prior to developing the facility.

How You Will Benefit:

• Gain strategies and insights into the practical steps taken to ensure the facility is energy usage focused, sustainable, abides by the building regulation codes while being responsive to patient, staff, and visitor needs.
• Identify master planning techniques.
