A system for managing remote doctor medical request workflow may include a
workflow module that optimizes assignments of medical requests to remote
doctors based on parameterized doctor and scheduling information and may
further include a forecasting module that predicts the hospital
credentials, state licenses or doctors needed to fulfill a projected
volume of future medical requests. In one embodiment, radiologists are
parameterized and then matched with requests for radiological readings
based on information extracted from DICOM image headers and merged with
associated information contained in a medical work order. In this
embodiment, the radiologists are parameterized based on their locations,
schedules, hospital credentials, state licensing, compensation metrics,
and performance metrics and incoming requests for review of CT scans and
the like are filtered based on the parameterized radiologist information
to identify one or more radiologists who are to fulfill the medical
request.
