Success Story

BIM and Big Data Management for Hospitals

BIM and Big Data Management for Hospitals

Customer challenge

After widely deploying BIM for the realization of complex hospital projects, Jacques Lévy-Bencheton, partner, architect and BIM Manager, at the French firm of Brunet Saunier Architecture, sought to go further in the optimization of its processes focused on data exchange between the program and project phases. After having identified the data production tools (Excel, Revit) and a hosting platform (BIM360), the next step consisted in questioning the value of the data and how to optimize its use.

Project goals

Automatically managing data at the programming and design phase of the project with direct access to results is a convincing way to prove the quality level, and value of the design. The BSA agency seeks to optimize the production of its data with mass data processing, to automate the production of design deliverables and to allow external partners, intervening during the design phase, to easily access this data, while integrating it into a reliable validation process.

Solution

DB-Lab proposed to create a BSA proprietary web platform, connected to their BIM360 space and developed a common data environment specific to the management of hospital rooms data, with a NoSQL database to ensure the uniqueness and traceability of each rooms' data throughout their lifecycle. The data checker has four uses: co-production of the data from the room sheet, automatic comparison of project data with program data, edition of the deliverable "room sheet" and Data reporting.

Business outcome

Called RoomDataChecker, the solution extends and reinforces the BIM processes deployed by BSA on hospital projects. The contributors have easier access to data, traceability of the information of each room, continuity of the data life cycle. The quantitative inputs targeted are the control of information production from a dashboard, mass modification and validation of data, automatic integration of information into the digital model and automatic editing of deliverables such as rooms’ sheets.

Conclusion

This solution is the result of a committed, transparent collaboration that builds lasting trust between Brunet Saunier Architecture agency and DB-Lab. The construction of a solid web platform dedicated to the data management of BIM projects, in the continuity of Autodesk solutions, makes it possible to consider future transformations, to demystify the complexity of hospitals by facilitating the management of information and to build buildings to meet the sensitive challenges of the health sector

Equipment Checker within a Dedicated Platform to the Micro-Implantation of Hospital Equipment

After developing unique expertise in BIM Management, Brunet Saunier & Associates implemented a Common Data Environment (CDE) to address the communication and coordination challenges among all stakeholders in each hospital project. Subsequent considerations were then initiated for data management and its enhancement in terms of business processes and project management.The approach was initiated from the programming phase to envision the entire project lifecycle. The analysis of the lifecycle of programmatic data led to the development of a web application integrated into the agency's CDE, allowing the integration, modification, and tracking of data for each room throughout all study phases. Building on this initial milestone, Brunet Saunier & Associates then delved into the analysis of one of the most characteristic and crucial missions in hospital architecture, that of Micro Implantation.Micro Implantation refers to a design mission aimed at planning biomedical equipment and its placement in typical rooms. Conducted as early as the design team's involvement, it places medical practice at the heart of the design and makes it a crucial condition for its quality. It also allows for understanding the financial impact of biomedical equipment on the building.This mission has two objectives:1) Ensuring ergonomics, with all subtleties related to space organization falling under the architect's purview.2) Verifying technical interfaces with the building, with the biomedical engineer ensuring that the technical requirements of the equipment align intelligently with those of the building.The definition, analysis, centralization, and sharing of information, both in terms of consultation with users and in BIM processes, are the levers that Brunet Saunier & Associates has chosen to develop a Micro Implantation module.
