title: Developing shared understanding through simulation.
abstract: In this article relevant key findings of a review of selected published work are used to provide a foundation for a new approach to developing a shared understanding of aspects of health care delivery. The new approach makes use of simulation models. It is hoped that this approach will provide support for improved decision-making and for the development of more appropriate enabling tools.
