Abstract

To improve the performance of crisis management in hospitals, increasing the resilience of buildings is very important. In this context, two key tools including building information and building management system can play a vital role in hospital crisis management. The main problem is to identify the effective factors in the effective implementation of these two systems as an integrated model. Considering the existing commonalities, it is necessary to identify these factors correctly in the system implementation process. This research has been done with the aim of developing such a model in two qualitative and quantitative parts. In the qualitative part, 27 effective factors were extracted from previous studies with the content analysis approach. In the quantitative part, exploratory factor analysis using SPSS22 software was used to compile the conceptual model (classification of factors in the form of indices and sub-indices) and confirmatory factor analysis was used to validate the conceptual model with Lisrel software. Questionnaires related to both methods were completed by 146 qualified experts who were selected from among 236 statistical population using Cochran's sampling formula. The reliability of the questionnaires was also measured by Cronbach's alpha coefficient. The results of the research show that the effective factors include the logistic management index of critical hospital departments (correlation coefficient 0.86), the performance index of the hospital information system (correlation coefficient 0.72), the infrastructure index of the hospital management system (correlation coefficient 0.67), the systems index hospital monitoring and control (correlation coefficient 0.64), and building management system index in the event of a crisis (correlation coefficient 0.61). These results show the importance of various factors in improving the performance of crisis management in hospitals.
