Indicadores de performance para análise de arquiteturas de medicina diagnóstica

Abstract

Performance evaluation in health equipment buildings is a theoretical and practical field that plays a fundamental role in the proper planning of efficient architectures capable of contributing to treatments and diagnoses. In this context, the research question arises: how can the use of computational models contribute to evaluating the quality of healthcare buildings and aid decision-making? The research problem focuses on the difficulty of the design decision-making process, in which the low availability of multi-criteria analysis models for healthcare buildings has compromised decision-making with the best performance and assertiveness. In light of this, this research has developed a device for evaluating indicators capable of evaluating the quality of healthcare buildings. Using indicators taken from the literature, the artifact quantitatively measures and evaluates relevant performance aspects for buildings of the diagnostic medicine building typology. The indicators selected cover three themes: the suitability of buildings to the regulations governing good practice in healthcare equipment; the spatial configuration of the floor plan using Space Syntax tools; and internal environmental qualities. The indicators have been implemented as a computer prototype in the Building Information Modeling (BIM) system through a visual programming interface. The methodology chosen to develop the research is Design Science Research, which is consistent with the objective of the research. The conclusion of the work discusses the implementation and validation of the model based on the analysis of buildings selected for research. Finally, the work contributes to the theory and practice of computational models for
