Two Tracks for The Healthcare BIMStorm Teams

To Be Continued... Join Now

BIMStorm Healthcare is an ongoing event.
Join to watch, design or hack at healthcare data from SEPS.

The Challenge is:
Hack healthcare data and use it for design solutions
Make the data accessible to software developers.
Be on one team or both...

Healthcare BIMStorm @ AEC Hackathon Description

SEPS2BIM has tons of real world healthcare facility data directly accessible from the owners’ database. This data is perfectly set up to be linked, used, reformatted and driven into new applications.

The data is accessible through easy to use utilities that can be driven into BIM.
APIs also enable direct linking through web services.

This is an unprecedented opportunity that was just opened up for consultants and developers to show what can be done for large owners.

Others are invited to join this team and work on specific tasks or identify areas of your interest.

Select one or two modules to work on.

Some areas of interest:

1. View a default space standards with equipment. Download to BIM, edit and post back recommended layout.
2. Use the SEPS sample project, resolve the design in BIM and post the result back.
3. Link to the SEPS Project Web Service as the project progresses and link it to your application.
4. Use the SEPS Master Table or 1691 Equipment web service and create a report on the web or mobile device.
5. Or create your own workflow.

The AEC Hackathon SoCAL is done, but this BIMStorm Healthcare will continue. Join the teams.

and / or showing what you can do

You Fit into the #1 Design Category!
Interact in one or more of the following ways:

Create a Live BIM from SEPS

Now that SEPS2BIM has surfaced BIM data and made it public, it is possible for anyone to quickly pull up data and associated BIMs in 2D and 3D format of what is currently in the SEPS Standard. This task is a starting point to understand the simplicity of using these utilities.

This task is to:

1. Use the online SEPS2BIM utilities to generate
Space(s) and Equipment BIMs
or
2. Department BIMs from SEPS

3. View the result Online or iPad
4. Open the BIM in SketchUp, Revit, or Onuma
5. Save an Excel File of Space and Equipment
4. Save a COBie File
6. Send a link to the resulting file to another BIMStorm participant as a BIM Mail Link

Time to Complete: 5 – 15 Minutes
Skill Level: Beginner – No Prior Experience in BIM or SEPS Needed

Design a Typical Space or Department

Using the output from Part 1A above, make recommendations for design changes to the VA Space Standards using BIM and submit those recommendations back to the BIMStorm teams. Owners such as VA and DHA update and maintain their space standards of typical spaces and departments in a manual way with documents that then get input into SEPS. Now with the SEPS2BIM process it is possible to make this more efficient.

Do one or all of the following.
1. Demonstrate how your design expertise can feed back into a workflow that updates the SEPS2BIM data.
2. Make a recommendation of the layout of a room and equipment.
3. Make a recommendation about the type of equipment, reference a product and create a new BIM object geometry of that product.
4. Submit the results back to the BIMStorm teams.

The recommended format is to use BIM but even a hand sketch will do. The most valuable part of this task is your knowledge of facility planning, and medical equipment and interaction with the other participants.

Time to Complete: 10 - 90 Minutes
Skill Level: Designer

Design a Project Using SEPS BIM Excel Export

Live Project has Been Set Up in SEPS and Connected to BIM Here >

This project is accessible to teams that can then use this to resolve the design.
Or use a program requirement project of a dental clinic submitted by Innova from SEPS.
Or create your own project.

This task is to:

1. Use the sample project data to design a project.
2. Edit space layout and equipment layout.
3. Spot and identify potential problems in the current space standards that you see in the BIMs.
4. Submit the result back to the BIMStorm team or upload it back into the server.

Data from this project will also be made accessible live
through RestFUL web services as the project progresses to be used by the programming team.

Time to Complete: 8 - 24 Hours
Skill Level: BIM and Design Skills

Interact with Program Team

All data in parts 1A-1D will be made accessible live with this link to the Program Team.
They will be able to use the data to link to their solutions or create new solutions.
Design teams are not required to interact with the Program Teams directly, but if you this task will encourage and acknowledge positive results. For example the Design Team can start a direct discussion with the Program Teams and come up with unique solutions that would not have been possible in isolation.
