    This paper investigates the knowledge system in Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology in Medical Construction Projects (MCPs). Specifically, it proposes knowledge graph analysis utilizing scient metric techniques and employs VOSviewer and CiteSpace software to analyze the consequence of relevant statistics from the literature concerning BIM medical construction projects (BIM-MCPs). In order to analyze the collaboration network, the analysis of the co-occurrence network, and the analysis of the co-citation network, 83 journal articles were gathered. The results obtained from the research indicate that (a) the intellectual framework of BIM-MCPs can be categorized into four distinct clusters. (b) The research focus in BIM-MCPs has evolved, including model development, frameworks, implementation, system integration, application throughout the entire lifecycle, emergency medical engineering project applications, and intelligent management of medical facilities and smart buildings. (c) Prospective directions for research are delineated in three distinct areas: enhancement of use for BIM Medical Facility Management (BIM-MFM), integration of BIM technology in sustainability assessment, and application of BIM technology in emergency medical engineering and smart medical construction.

    Design outcomes in the Medical Building Projects (MBPs) must satisfy the demand of the medical staff and stakeholders. However, they often do not have the relevant engineering expertise, so the design team is prone to misunderstandings when communicating with them using traditional two-dimensional (2D) Computer-Aided Design (CAD) drawings. The medical staff may not readily visualize and understand the design and then provide feedback to the designer through professional medical requirements or advice, which results in the need to redesign and carry out additional work during the design phase, thus delaying the progress of the MBPs. To address these challenges, this study aims to develop an integrated system based on BIM, advanced rendering engines, and VR technology for use in non-immersive and immersive VR environments. Moreover, in this study, the integrated system was applied to the infection-building project of the People's Hospital of Qingbaijiang District, Chengdu City, and semi-structured interviews were distributed to 16 engineers, designers, contractors, and medical staff who had been involved in the whole project to validate the practicality and effectiveness of the integrated system. The results indicate that this system integration is an efficient visual communication and simulation tool in medical design. Key advantages include enhanced communication efficiency between the design team and medical stakeholders, improved visual interaction, and streamlined decision-making processes within a 3D VR/BIM environment. The successful implementation of this integrated system is expected to significantly aid design teams and stakeholders in effectively managing medical design tasks in future projects.

    In recent years, the use of BIM software in clinical building tasks has been paid greater and extra attention. Taking Chengdu's scientific development mission as an example, this paper discusses the utility of BIM in scientific building projects and researches the impediment elements and answer strategies. This paper makes use of semi-structured interviews and literature evaluations to evaluate every influencing aspect earlier than by conducting quantitative research. After amassing facts via qualitative methods, an online questionnaire survey was once built in accordance with the interview consequences and previous lookup papers, and a number of factors blanketed in the online questionnaire had been comprehensively explained, and the software state of affairs and present issues of Building Information Modeling (BIM) in scientific development tasks have been summarized. The consequences of the lookup exhibit that the predominant boundaries to the positive adoption of BIM technological know-how in Medical Building Construction Projects (MBCPs) departments in Chengdu are multifaceted. First, issues from collaboration and verbal exchange stand out. These challenges are compounded with the aid of doubtful roles and obligations inside the mission team. This ambiguity now not solely hinders fantastic teamwork but also prevents BIM from seamlessly integrating with present workflows. Second, there are full-size boundaries to interoperability and compatibility problems between exclusive BIM software program applications. This incompatibility creates limitations to the clean alternate of records and data, leading to inefficiencies and plausible blunders in challenge execution. The large range of software programs used at one-of-a-kind degrees of MBCPs exacerbates this problem. Finally, the inherent complexity of BIM software programs and tools, coupled with the time-consuming and cumbersome BIM process, poses a big challenge. This complexity frequently leads to a reluctance amongst stakeholders to embody BIM technology. Given these findings, this study learns about the stage for future lookup and sensible interventions aimed at advertising wider acceptance and the tremendous use of BIM in the Medical Building Industry (MBI) and Construction Industry (CI).
