BrainNet Methodology

A Clear Process for Complex Simulation Projects

Healthcare simulation projects involve educators, clinicians, architects, engineers, AV professionals, IT teams, equipment vendors, leadership, and operations staff. BrainNet brings the right questions and technical coordination to each phase.

Consultants reviewing simulation centre plans and technical coordination notes.

01

Discover

Discover

Understand programs, learners, stakeholders, constraints, existing conditions, and future goals.

Typical questions

  • Who will use the centre and how often?
  • Which learning models and clinical workflows need support?
  • What constraints are already fixed?

Deliverables

  • Discovery summary
  • Stakeholder map
  • Initial planning risks

02

Define

Define

Develop functional requirements, scope, priorities, learning models, space needs, and project criteria.

Typical questions

  • Which rooms need to flex and which need to be specialized?
  • What learner throughput must the centre support?
  • Which decisions affect cost, construction, and operations?

Deliverables

  • Functional program
  • Space requirements
  • Project criteria

03

Design

Design

Coordinate layout, equipment, AV, IT, infrastructure, technical requirements, and room-by-room recommendations.

Typical questions

  • Can faculty, learners, equipment, and technicians move without friction?
  • Will AV and debriefing workflows work in daily use?
  • Are storage, power, data, acoustics, and equipment clearances coordinated?

Deliverables

  • Room data sheets
  • Technical narratives
  • Design comments

04

Deliver

Deliver

Support procurement, design review, commissioning, training, implementation, and operational readiness.

Typical questions

  • Are equipment, infrastructure, and procurement schedules aligned?
  • What needs to be tested before opening?
  • What support do teams need during transition?

Deliverables

  • Equipment schedules
  • Commissioning checklists
  • Launch readiness plan

05

Sustain

Sustain

Help programs build governance, workflows, staffing models, maintenance planning, and future expansion strategies.

Typical questions

  • How will the centre be staffed and governed?
  • How will equipment, inventory, and scheduling be managed?
  • What needs to evolve over the next five years?

Deliverables

  • Operating model
  • Governance recommendations
  • Future roadmap

Planning a New Simulation Centre or Improving an Existing One?

Bring BrainNet into the conversation early. The right decisions made during planning can prevent costly redesigns, technology gaps, and operational issues later.
