to get clarification from the key players if any questions
are left unanswered.
An IT administrator with experience at an institution
with a simulation center cautions ICT designers to carefully
consider the size of the TRs, especially those that will
also house simulation equipment. With the evolution
of the healthcare simulation systems, more equipment
will find its way into the TRs. Also, as additional simulation
technologies are adopted, network connections likewise
increase. Flexibility to accommodate changes is of
vital importance. While this is true throughout other
spaces, it is critical in simulation centers. ICT designers
should also watch for value engineering. As cost management
exercises progress, the value of network infrastructure
and cabling can assume less importance, especially
when compared to the simulation systems. Since the IT
staff is not always involved in the budget discussions, the
ICT designer should seek to have them give feedback
on such reductions before implementing them. Although
the IT department usually has the opportunity to review
plan changes, often their review occurs long after the
value engineering, thereby making it difficult to bring
the team back to the table to look for other cost
saving opportunities.
In addition to making decisions about the simulation
system and the data network, there are considerations
on how to approach simulation phones. There is the
potential for liability if phones in the simulation area
only reach the control center and do not allow access
