The build path
Six stages, each landing in a workspace you already have.
01
Choose services
What the department will provide, and for whom. Applicability flows from this.
02
Generate the blueprint
Requirements by authority type, with owners, approval paths and review dates.
03
Size the model
Volumes and coverage through the operations engine: hours, rooms, equipment, training capacity.
04
Produce the documents
Policies, SOPs, competencies, checklists and plans from model templates, routed for local approval.
05
Staff and credential
Roles, qualifications, competency programme and the training pipeline.
06
Go live and monitor
Move to Run: KPI monitoring, review cycles and the next reassessment.
Step 1 — Services provided or planned
Applicability is service-scoped. Adding cEEG or LTM changes the requirement set, the competency set and the document set — they are not interchangeable.
Other neurodiagnostic modalities can be added to this framework later. They will carry their own requirements rather than inheriting EEG's.
Applicable requirements
29 blueprint domains in scope
Documents to produce
Policies, SOPs, competencies, checklists, plans
Modelled weekly demand
1.01 FTE required at these assumptions
Binding constraint
Demand of 35 hrs/week sits inside 69.6 net productive hours with room and equipment headroom, and the supplied inputs passed the sufficiency checks.
Step 3 — Size the model
A rough sizing from planned volume. The full engine carries shrinkage, rooms, equipment, preceptor capacity and callback burden.
No change indicated. Re-run when volume, staffing or services change. 0 finding(s) supported, 0 provisional, 4 awaiting input. Intervention conclusions withheld (Two-week protected-time and booking trial; Second room / added physical capacity; Prescribe an exact FTE increase; Shift-model choice (10-hour / 12-hour / weekend blocks)), each with the smallest next data that would resolve it.
Step 2 — Blueprint domains generated
Domain status and evidence, not one universal score.
| Domain | Applicable | Status |
|---|---|---|

| Continuing education tracking | 1 | 0/1 evidenced · 1 partial |
| Staffing, call, callback and escalation | 1 | 1/1 evidenced |
| Scheduling, access and throughput | 2 | 1/2 evidenced · 1 partial |
Step 4 — Document set for these services
Correctly classified by artifact type and routed for local approval.
| Document | Type | Domain |
|---|---|---|
| Department governance and responsibility | Policy | governance |
| Scope of service description | Policy | governance |
| Personnel qualifications by role | Job description | personnel qualifications |
| Initial competency assessment | Competency | competency |
| Competency reassessment schedule | Competency | competency |
| Orientation and onboarding plan | Plan | orientation |
| Precepting programme | Procedure / SOP | training preceptor |
| Routine EEG technical procedure | Procedure / SOP | technical sops |
| Inpatient / portable EEG procedure | Procedure / SOP | technical sops |
| Activation procedures and safety limits | Procedure / SOP | activation procedures |
| Urgent / STAT activation | Procedure / SOP | call escalation |
| Staffing escalation and short-coverage | Procedure / SOP | staffing coverage |
| Equipment QA and maintenance | Procedure / SOP | equipment qa |
| Infection prevention and equipment cleaning | Procedure / SOP | infection prevention |
Implementation gates and dependencies
Generated from the services you selected, the applicable blueprint requirements, the engine result and your verified competency records. Work it for as long as the project takes — it is a living dependency graph, not a checklist.
Go-live readiness
NOT READY — BLOCKERS OPEN
4 blocking dependency/ies remain open. 1 dependency/ies are recorded out of order and must be reconciled before any readiness claim: "Employer-verified independent capability: Routine EEG independent." is recorded as complete, but it depends on "A named technologist leader accountable for technical standards, competency sign-off and escalation.", which is still local decision required. This ordering is not possible — one of the two records is wrong. This is an internal operational readiness judgement — it is not accreditation, certification or regulatory approval.
- Impossible ordering — "Employer-verified independent capability: Routine EEG independent." is recorded as complete, but it depends on "A named technologist leader accountable for technical standards, competency sign-off and escalation.", which is still local decision required.

2 of 7 dependencies closed · 4 blocking open · 1 non-blocking open
Technical leadership
A named technologist leader accountable for technical standards, competency sign-off and escalation.
Evidence expected: Position description, name, reporting line and delegated authority on record.
Next action: Confirm the named technical leader and the scope of decisions delegated to that role.
Medical oversight
Named physician oversight for the service, with a documented interpretation and escalation relationship.
Evidence expected: Signed medical oversight agreement or medical staff designation.
Next action: Identify the physician of record and document the oversight relationship. NeuroOps does not interpret studies or supply medical oversight.
Workforce competency
Employer-verified independent capability: Routine EEG independent.
Evidence expected: Competency records at independent or preceptor stage for: 10-20 measurement, Electrode application and impedance, Routine EEG acquisition.
Next action: Maintain revalidation dates; keep at least two independent holders to avoid a single point of failure.
Cannot start until: A named technologist leader accountable for technical standards, competency sign-off and escalation.
Space & equipment
Testing space and room hours sufficient for the planned outpatient volume.
Evidence expected: Room list, open hours, and the slot arithmetic that shows the volume fits.
Next action: Room capacity supports 14.6 slots/week against 13.8 demanded.
Space & equipment
Acquisition, commissioning and safety testing of the equipment required for Routine outpatient EEG, Inpatient / portable EEG.
Evidence expected: Asset list with serials, electrical safety test records, network/connectivity sign-off and a maintenance schedule.
Next action: Confirm the inventory against the planned concurrent load before go-live.
Documents, policy & SOP
Applicable blueprint requirements documented, approved locally and dated. 36 requirement(s) apply to these services.
Evidence expected: Defined reporting structure for the neurodiagnostic service; Scope of service description; Named medical direction; Jurisdictional supervision requirements; Technical lead role with defined decision rights; Documented coverage model and FTE basis
Next action: Work the blueprint chain: source → applicability → evidence → gap → action → owner → approval → review.
Cannot start until: A named technologist leader accountable for technical standards, competency sign-off and escalation.
Quality & maintenance
Quality and maintenance plan: study quality review, repeat/redo tracking, equipment maintenance and a review cycle.
Evidence expected: Named quality reviewer, defined metrics, review cadence and a maintenance schedule.
Next action: Define the quality metrics before go-live, not after. Repeat/redo rate and electrode failure are not yet measured here.
Cannot start until: A named technologist leader accountable for technical standards, competency sign-off and escalation. · Acquisition, commissioning and safety testing of the equipment required for Routine outpatient EEG, Inpatient / portable EEG.
Go-live readiness is an internal operational judgement about the dependencies listed above. It is not accreditation, certification, licensure or regulatory approval, and it does not state that the service is legally or clinically cleared to operate.

Not legal advice
Regulatory records are research notes, not legal advice or a legal opinion. Confirm any statute, regulation or requirement with the issuing authority and your own counsel before acting.
No PHI, no patient-level data
This platform holds aggregate operational counts, workforce records and competency attestations. It has no patient fields, no patient-level logs and no case records, and makes no compliance-certification claim.
NeuroOps provides readiness and governance infrastructure. It does not certify legal, regulatory or accreditation compliance, and a completed blueprint is not a compliance finding.
