Along with systems commissioning for new buildings and major renovations, "clinical operations commissioning" to identify and eliminate operational risks before the healthcare facility's doors open is also a good idea, according to an article on the Healthcare Design magazine website. Patient care and other operational processes very often aren’t put through the same rigorous testing and training as technical systems prior to occupancy. Clinical simulations can give an indepth look at how processes will work and where risks may lie.
