BIM is an enabling tool for facilities projects within the Military Health System (MHS) to more effectively achieve current requirements and assist the MHS in achieving fundamental Facility Life Cycle Management (FLCM) requirements in supporting the delivery of health, dental, veterinary and research operations. MHS BIM ObjectivesThe DoD’s MHS has established BIM Objectives to help guide the corporate use of BIM to support FLCM across the MHS. The objectives are described in the MHS BIM Objectives and in the video “BIM 102 — Overview BIM Objectives in the MHS” found below.

NomenclatureBIM nomenclature and definitions. The National Bim Standard is also an excellent resource for information on BIM. BIM is an enabling tool that supports many aspects of the FLCM.

Note: All projects using the current version of UFC 4-510-01 and programmed for construction in FY2014 or later have this as a requirement. (See Chapter 20 of the UFC). Requests for Proposal: The following language can be used in RFP’s or DA’s as needed.
Design Authorizations: The following language can be added to DA’s for projects that are prior to FY2014 construction targets, or need to emphasize the requirement for BIM to design and construction agents.
Partnering with the Healthcare IndustryPPMD is working closely with the Department of Veterans Affairs as we implement BIM on Military Health System (MHS) and VA facility projects. We have found that many of our goals in BIM are identical or similar. To achieve mutual success we have been collaborating since 2008 to find mutually beneficial solutions to our common objectives.
The MHS also participates in the Healthcare BIM Consortium (HBC), which is an open project of the Building Smart Alliance (bSa). The MHS endeavors to work within the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry as it continues to use BIM as a tool supporting innovation, and to collaborate with other health system owners relating to common BIM objectives. Information on upcoming HBC events will be listed on the HBC page.

BIM in other federal agenciesGeneral Overview on WBDG.org BIM Families for HealthcareMultiple vendors have BIM families and objectives available freely to the public to support more effective planning and coordination during the design process. The following are not supported or endorsed by the MHS, however are shown as an example of available information that can be used to better inform the design development of healthcare facilities using BIM tools. These types of resources are usually presented for use at the user’s own risk and liability, and do not relieve the designer or planner for their obligations under a given contract with the DoD’s MHS.
