Boston Children's Hospital Simulation Center,
Boston, opened May 2016

S

INCE 2001, PATIENT care teams at Boston Children's Hos-

pital have used simulation to rehearse for surgical procedures and train caregivers. The practices became vital for
staff preparation, but growth in use over the years resulted in a collection of mobile carts and equipment stashed
in every available space.
The new Simulation Center at Boston Children's,
opened in May, accommodates the advancement of the
simulator program (SIMPeds) and provides a 5,300-square-foot dedicated space that supports simulation practices and technology. The center, designed by Lavallee Brensinger Architects (Boston) and built by
construction manager Bond (Everett, Mass.), creates a flexible set for rehearsing even the most complex procedures.
One of the challenges faced when creating a hospital-based simulation
facility is lack of available space. The solution at Boston Children's is a multipurpose, flexible design that allows each simulation lab to replicate two
to three different settings within one area. Three sim labs can be easily
converted to adapt to several training scenarios: acute care, outpatient services, home care, and others. Enhancing these experiences is a "backstage"
control center where technicians oversee the functions of the center's
lighting, sound, simulated patient manikins, and specific case scenarios.
The center promotes multiroom and multidisciplinary training within
and between simulated departments. It includes a skills training lab, fully
equipped operating room, ICU, trauma bay, ambulatory exam room, nursery, child's bedroom, and nurse's support alcove.
In addition to medical team training, the center will serve as a resource
for families with children needing specialized care at home.
The nursery and child's bedroom can be configured to train
family members in using medical equipment and providing
the hands-on care a child needs following discharge.
