Mission Statement

The Healthcare BIMConsortium (HBC) has been created by healthcare owners as a forum for collaboration with our industry partners (software vendors, designers, builders and specialty consultants) in support of improved data interoperability for Facility Life Cycle Management (FLCM).

Purpose

1. Clearly articulate the role and importance of BIM in Healthcare Facility Life Cycle Management (FLCM).
2. To leverage the potential of BIM to eliminate inefficiencies in the way healthcare assets are currenlty planned, programmed, designed, built and operated.
3. To leverage the potiential of BIM to create opportunities to improve healthcare outcomes and afforadability.

Healthcare facilities are enormous complex machines, constantly evolving, that need to operate correctly throughout their expected life. Healthcare owners, comprising the HBC, are collaborating to shape industry direction and to leverage BIM to facilitate efficient processes and data exchange supporting facility life cycle management.

Scope

The HBC is an ongoing project group in bSa focused on BIM issues relating to the FLCM of healthcare facilities to resolve areas that healthcare owners are facing as common challenges. While the individual healthcare owner members may have other BIM objectives they are working in their individual organizations, the HBC agrees the collective efforts and voice of the HBC will be only be those issues that are common objectives to the healthcare owner members.

HBC objectives do not indicate that other objectives are not important, however to achieve a focused and collective effort forward the team of healthcare owner members is leveraging the HBC voice on common objectives only. HBC owner members may work their other individual organizational objectives external to the HBC efforts.

Objectives

The HBC has five core focus areas that are being addressed in a collaborative effort.

1. Automate space PFD (Program for Design) validation in design submittal. (Input Data Flow)
2. Automate Room Equipment (Project Room Contents) Validation. (Input Data Flow)
3. Optimize the benefits of BIM during the execution of design to assist successful project construction. (Design / Construction Execution)
4. Automate the data population of computerized maintenance management software CMMS / CAFM. (Output Data Flow)
5. Automate the data population – Medical Equipment & Furniture Inventory and Maintenance System. (Output Data Flow)

Meetings

The HBC has periodic meetings and workshops to advance the efforts described in the mission statement.  The information on previous meetings can be found below, as well as details for the next general public meeting and any know future planned meetings.
