A move to cut patient waiting times and improve emergency services was launched this week.
Eastleigh Healthcare Trust acting head of access and capacity, Becky Robinson, said the new programme could mean the end of long waiting times in casualty.
"We want to reduce waits and delays and improve the patient and carer relationships," she explained.
The 14-month programme, funded by the NHS to the tune of £115,000, is part of a national plan to improve services.
It has been broken down into four groups - minor injuries, acute assessment, medical admissions and surgical admission, which will mean breakthroughs in the way patients are assessed.
Speaking about the minor injuries group, Ms Robinson said: "We want to fully implement 'see and treat' in the A&E department in Winchester and to ensure the continued development of emergency nurse practitioners. Some patients could be treated and discharged within four hours of arrival."
Other aims are to increase by 5% the number of casualty patients discharged within 24 and 48 hours and to reduce the average length of stay for medical patients by one day.
"We will be working on a lot of pilot schemes over the next 14 months and trying to find out what works and what doesn't," Ms Robinson said.
