Operationalise and evaluate

Launch the service

Formally launch the Simulation Consultancy Service with clear, organisation-wide communication about purpose, communication pathways, pillars of activity and initial priorities

Launch a single point of contact for staff to request simulation consultancy services

Integrate within existing systems

Work with existing units, teams, services, and groups to integrate a program of simulation activities

Demonstrate connectivity with existing systems

Measure impact

Build capacity to measure impact of the Simulation Consultancy Service, discrete simulation events and the emerging simulation program on, for example, service delivery, patient safety, staff satisfaction, staff and team performance

Review, revise, close the loop

Develop formal mechanisms for regularly and routinely reviewing the implementation of the Simulation Consultancy Service

Evaluate the impact of simulation activities that aimed to address a specific organisational need, concern or problem, and formally report these outcomes
