Bim in Healthcare Infrastructure: Planning, Design and Construction
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 healthcare infrastructure framework, this reference guide expounds the broader context and key challenges present. 

It encompasses the advantageous nature of BIM implementation, encouraging it to become a shared knowledge resource to support decision-making throughout the building cycle from conception and design to construction. Implementation of BIM increases understanding, improves utilisation and reduces duplication in characteristics of building thus leading to organisational efficiency, better staff and patient outcomes and dramatic cost savings.

This book navigates 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 are also discussed, including lack of suitable legal framework, culture within the construction industry and lack of appropriate investment in BIM software.
