The document outlines several building design projects completed using 3D Building Information Modeling (BIM) software including: a $65M critical care facility and central plant for Scripps Memorial Hospital; a $273M replacement hospital and support building for Kaiser Permanente South Bay Medical Center; a 45,000 square foot medical office building for Kaiser Permanente South Bay Medical Center; and a $25M office and maintenance facility for NASA Dryden designed for LEED Platinum certification. Construction documents for all projects were produced using Revit BIM software.
Partnership between ThoughtWire and Schneider Electric to drive future of Digital Hospital – bridging the gap between core clinical operations and facility infrastructure services
Power Protection for Digital Medical Imaging and Diagnostic EquipmentSchneider Electric
Medical imaging and diagnostic equipment (MIDE) is
increasingly being networked to Picture Archiving and
Communications Systems (PACS), Radiology Information
Systems (RIS), Hospital Information Systems
(HIS), and getting connected to the hospital intranet as
well as the Internet. Failing to implement the necessary
physical infrastructure can result in unexpected
downtime, and safety and compliance issues, which
translates into lost revenue and exposure to expensive
litigations, negatively affecting the bottom line. This
paper explains how to plan for physical infrastructure
when deploying medical imaging and diagnostic
equipment, with emphasis on power and cooling.

A Practical Guide to Ensuring Business Continuity and High Performance in Hea...Schneider Electric
Within healthcare facilities, high availability of systems is a key influencer of revenue and patient safety and satisfaction. Three important critical success factors need to be addressed in order to achieve safety and availability goals. These include exceeding the facility’s level of regulatory compliance, a linking of business benefits to the maintenance of a safe and an “always on” power and ventilation environment, and a sensible approach to technology upgrades that includes new strategies for “selling” technological improvements to executives. This reference guide offers recommendations for identifying and addressing each of these issues.
Wellmont Health System - Improving Data Center EfficiencyDarren Ramsey
In October of 2012, Wellmont Health System launched Project Odyssey - a multi-year, multi-million-dollar investment with electronic medical records leader Epic Systems. This project would result in a customized personal technology interface for Wellmont physicians, providers and patients. Re-architecting the health system’s data center was phase one.
Albemarle Health Delivers MEDITECH EMR System and High Availability on NetAppNetApp
Challenge: Effectively manage and protect growing hospital data residing on MEDITECH and Allscripts EMR systems and Medicity HIE.
Solution: Deliver high-availability health- care systems across multiple hospital sites with new cost efficiencies using NetApp FAS3270HA and FAS3240HA storage systems.
