Abstract

In context of the recent COVID-19 pandemic, smart hospitals’ contributions to pre-medical, remote diagnosis, and social distancing has been further vetted. Smart hospital management evolves with new technology and knowledge management, which needs an evaluation system to prioritize its associated criteria and sub-criteria. The global effect of the COVID-19 pandemic further necessitates a comprehensive research of smart hospital management. This paper will utilize Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) within Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) to establish a smart hospital evaluation system with evaluation criteria and sub-criteria, which were then further prioritized and mapped to BIM-related alternatives to inform asset information management (AIM) practices. This context of this study included the expert opinions of six professionals in the smart hospital field and collected 113 responses from hospital-related personnel. The results indicated that functionalities connected to end users are critical, in particular IoT’s Network Core Functionalities, AI’s Deep Learning and CPS’s Special Network Technologies. Furthermore, BIM’s capability to contribute to the lifecycle management of assets can relate and contribute to the asset-intensive physical criteria of smart hospitals, in particular IoT, service technology innovations and their sub-criteria.
