## 7 Conclusions  
The commercial advantage of IPS is significant due to the increase in the asset value, it clearly helps users to find and use the equipment and facilities easily and, finally, it enhances functional efficiency. Especially, in hospitals, finding emergency facilities in seconds rather than minutes can be a matter of life and death. At St. Olavs Hospital, everything is centered around patients, and tracking equipment such as wheelchairs and beds is in line with this. From this standpoint, all facilities are equipped with IoT devices, and they can communicate directly over the Internet and all components can report their condition and contribute to better utilization of resources. With proper use, this leads to obvious opportunities for a better and efficient performance. St. Olavs Hospital, as a health enterprise, has an operational web-based real-estate portal as an interface to the organization and model server. The real-estate portal has features such as deviation notification, property overview, maps, mobile equipment tracking, room classification and rental information, all based on model server data. These findings indicate that the implementation of IPS integrated into EBIM creates efficient use of the available facilities and benefits and makes opportunities for hospitals and other large buildings. In healthcare management, issues related to the safety of the facilities, the quality of care provided to patients, the staff satisfaction and the costly ineffectiveness of workflows are of the most importance. Therefore, IT-based innovation for healthcare is recognized as a potential tool for improvement. Hence, St. Olavs Hospital is constantly striving to develop technologies and systems to support easier business activities that ultimately lead to improved service delivery. This approach has a direct impact on FM and provides a wide range of options and better communication for facility managers.  
This study is based on a prototype implementation and, thus, the results are limited to exploratory studies using a limited amount of equipment and time. In the future, St. Olavs Hospital will enhance the use of BIM data with IPS and other technologies to achieve better facility management, such as tracking the movement of medical equipment, optimized fleet management and logistics. Furthermore, the data from the indoor positioning system will be used in EBIM to provide better services for the healthcare personnel and patients and for better decision-making at the strategic and operational levels of the hospital. The main goal is a comprehensive achievement towards rational and logical digital management of buildings that can reflect the engineering structures and performance of buildings and infrastructure in the best way possible while providing a wide range of benefits and services within a good working environment to owners, facility managers, and inhabitants. In this regard, the mechanism of performing of EBIM IPS leads to a systematic review of results and regular evaluation that helps the healthcare industry to create and plan hospitals based on a conscious attitude, which results in the support of good services and functional efficiency enhancement.
