Antenatal Care in Australia: Process Mapping to Visualise Resources and Care

Antenatal Care (ANC) in Australia is of a high standard internationally and is an important care model for mothers. ANC is able to help prevent preterm birth complications. Process mapping enables the visualization of the journal of care, however different functionality is available from different process mapping tools. This paper presents and critically analyses Lean VSM and PaJMa modelling for the ANC pathway in Australia.Clinical Relevance—This work can help inform discrepancies in perceived care and received care and can be used as a tool to help guide organizations in the decision-making for health services deployments for ANC services.
