Host Controller
Launch scenarios, adjust patient conditions, guide progression, track learner actions, and transition into debrief.
Clinician-built clinical simulation
Clinical simulation that goes wherever your team trains.
One facilitator can run realistic, multi-device healthcare training without cloud connectivity or complex infrastructure.
Built by a neonatal nurse, NRP instructor, and clinical educator.
One connected simulation
One facilitator. Multiple interfaces. A room that responds.
Steps InSitu connects a facilitator-controlled host screen with learner-facing bedside monitors, auxiliary displays, and phone-friendly actor scripts. Every interface communicates over a local network.
Bedside Monitor
Give learners realistic vital signs, waveforms, oxygen controls, warmer controls, suction, and responsive patient information.
Auxiliary Display
Reveal ECGs, imaging, laboratory results, diagnostic studies, and clinical resources at the right moment.
Actor Scripts
Provide parents, standardized patients, providers, and staff roles with current-step instructions, lines, and cues.
How it works
Set up the room. Choose the experience. Start the scenario.
-
01
Connect
Launch from a Windows host computer. Tablets, phones, and displays join through a local network using simple URLs and QR codes.
-
02
Choose
Run freeform neonatal manual mode or select a structured scenario from neonatal, mother-baby, and pediatric libraries.
-
03
Facilitate
Advance objective-based steps, adjust patient conditions, reveal diagnostics, and respond to learner decisions in real time.
-
04
Debrief
Close with guided reflection questions, missed-action review, scenario-specific teaching points, and a focused debrief timer.
Built for in-situ training
Designed for the care environment, not tied to the cloud.
Steps InSitu runs over a local network. A portable router can connect the host computer, bedside displays, auxiliary monitors, and actor devices without requiring internet access.
- Offline-friendly local-network operation
- Deployable in classrooms, simulation labs, and patient care areas
- Scales from two devices to a richer multi-device experience
- Keeps facilitator information separate from learner screens
Dynamic scenario logic
Scenarios respond to decisions, communication, and team behavior.
Patient condition, vital signs, actor behavior, available diagnostics, and teaching prompts can change as learners act. Facilitators retain manual control throughout the experience.

Scenario libraries
Built for the teams and environments where rescue begins.
NICU Emergency Series
High-risk neonatal events across delivery rooms, special care nurseries, and NICUs, with emphasis on rapid assessment and evidence-based stabilization.
Mother-Baby Rescue Series
Short, high-yield emergencies focused on early recognition, escalation, communication, and interdisciplinary teamwork.
Pediatric Rescue Series
Flexible pediatric scenarios supporting full procedural simulation, mock codes, tabletop exercises, and team discussion.
The scenario library continues to grow as Steps InSitu expands into additional clinical workflows.
Actor scripts
Bring communication and human factors into the scenario.
The phone-friendly Actor Scripts interface gives parents, family members, standardized patients, consulting providers, and staff confederates the information they need for the current step.
Selected scenario modifiers can change role instructions, suggested lines, and behavioral cues as the case progresses.
Why Steps InSitu
Built by a clinical educator for clinical educators.
Steps InSitu was created by Jason Burgess, a neonatal nurse with more than 25 years of experience, an NRP instructor for more than 10 years, and a clinical educator supporting special care nursery and pediatric teams.
The platform grew from a practical goal: make simulation training more realistic, accessible, and impactful while reducing the technical burden placed on educators.
