Desarrollo de una guía de diseño basada en modelado de información de construcción (BIM) para la optimización de laboratorios clínicos en centros de salud de segundo nivel

Abstract

The present project aims to develop a design guide using the BIM methodology for its integration into clinical laboratory designs. This work focused on investigating the current norms and regulations governing the design and construction of specific healthcare areas, as well as the efficient use of BIM. Design guides are intended to establish guidelines and standards that ensure consistency, safety, and efficiency in the planning and construction of healthcare infrastructure. These guides not only guarantee appropriate conditions for both staff and patients but also facilitate the understanding and application of architectural and regulatory principles. For this research, guidelines and manuals from the WHO and international regulations such as ISO 15189:2022 and ISO 15190:2020 were used. Likewise, national regulations included in the guidelines of the Ministry of Public Health were consulted. The use of BIM methodology allows for the creation and visualization of three-dimensional models, providing a preview of the laboratory before construction. This helps to efficiently plan the placement of equipment, work areas, and storage spaces, as well as ensuring flexibility for future technological updates. The laboratory design was carried out using AutoCAD 2D and Revit, including the recommended equipment divided by area. To validate the guide, simulations and case studies were conducted to adjust the models and ensure that optimization objectives were met. The final outcome of this project constitutes a practical tool that will improve the efficiency of clinical laboratories, reduce operational costs, and enhance the quality of provided services, thereby contributing to better healthcare.
