Recent policy announcements by the State and Federal Governments have centred on the need to explore the use of process management principles, normally applied to manufacturing industry, to health services management. This multidisciplinary project addresses one of the most pressing needs in health services - provision of methods to reduce patient queues and waiting times in emergency departments through interactive computing simulation to visualise and plan work process improvements. This smart use of information will benefit hospital managers, patients and their carers, is transferable to other health contexts, and by optimising resource usage has the potential to help build Australian (health) business.

州政府和联邦政府最近的政策公告集中在需要探讨将通常适用于制造业的过程管理原则用于保健服务管理。这个多学科项目解决了卫生服务中最紧迫的需求之一-通过交互式计算模拟来可视化和计划工作流程改进，提供减少急诊室患者排队和等待时间的方法。这种对信息的明智使用将使医院管理者、患者及其护理人员受益，并可转移到其他健康环境中，通过优化资源使用，有可能帮助建立澳大利亚（健康）业务。
