This extensive bibliometric analysis, titled "Building Information Modelling (BIM) in Healthcare: An In-Depth Bibliometric Exploration of Adoption Trends and Implications in Hospital Construction," examines the dynamic interaction between BIM and healthcare infrastructure development. The background emphasises BIM's transformative potential in improving precision, cost- efficiency, and patient-centered design in hospital building. The observed problem derives from an insufficient grasp of BIM adoption in healthcare, demanding a thorough examination of current research findings. Our study applies an advanced bibliometric methodology, analysing a decade-long corpus of scholarly publications to discover quantitative indicators, citation networks, prolific authorship, and thematic groups using VOS viewer software. The study provides nuanced insights on adoption patterns, major impediments, and influential elements in BIM systems customised to hospital environments. The results include a complete assessment of BIM's growth trajectory in healthcare construction, identifying significant contributions shaping the field, mapping collaboration networks, and insights into the geographical distribution of research activity. The anticipated conclusion will provide valuable guidance for stakeholders, policymakers, and practitioners involved in healthcare facility development, shaping future research efforts. By utilizing strategic decision-making and the latest BIM advancements, we can optimize hospital construction for improved efficiency, sustainability, and a strong focus on patient care.
