Abstract
Driven by the critical need for sustainable healthcare infrastructure, this research explores the synergistic integration of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Lean principles to optimize hospital planning and design. This study examines how combining BIM and Lean methodologies enhances efficiency, reduces costs, and promotes environmental sustainability in hospital development. A rigorous systematic review of literature from Scopus, ScienceDirect and Google Scholar analyzed relevant studies on their application in healthcare facilities. Findings indicate that this integration significantly improves sustainable hospital development by enhancing spatial visualization, conflict resolution, and data-driven decision-making, while streamlining resource allocation and minimizing waste. This combined approach leads to superior design outcomes, lower capital expenditure, and resource-conscious, eco-friendly design. Acknowledging limitations, including reliance on English-language publications and the contextual variability of hospital planning, which may limit generalizability, the study emphasizes the need for standardized frameworks. Ultimately, the integration of BIM and Lean advances sustainable hospital infrastructure by fostering cost-effective, resource-efficient, and ecologically responsible design, aligning with sustainable development goals. This research establishes a foundational framework for developing prescriptive guidelines and best practices, optimizing project delivery protocols and enhancing operational efficacy within healthcare infrastructure projects.
