Agent-based methods for communication system design in complex organisations

由于改进了该项目产生的通信工具，有直接机会直接提高卫生工作的效率、效力和安全性。目前的证据表明，不良的沟通系统和做法严重损害了临床工作，并与可避免的临床错误和患者死亡有关，这表明了令人信服的国家利益。卫生保健占国内生产总值的10%，通信技术尚未在这里得到充分利用。在全国范围内，为卫生保健服务的成功的新通信服务存在大量的商业机会。国际市场可能更大，因为在美国等国家，医疗保健占GDP的比例更大。

There is a direct opportunity to directly improve the efficiency, effectiveness, and safety of health work as a result of improved communication tools arising from this project. The current evidence that poor communication systems and practices significantly impair clinical work, and are related to avoidable clinical error and patient death, suggest compelling national benefits. Health represents 10% of GDP, and communication technologies have yet to be significantly exploited here. There are substantial commercial opportunities nationally, for successful new communication services that service health care. Internationally the markets may be even larger, as healthcare is a larger proportion of GDP in nations such as the US.
