Task assignment supporting apparatus, task assignment supporting system, and task assignment supporting method

A task assignment supporting system including an ordering system and a task assignment supporting apparatus, wherein

• the ordering system manages an image reading order and a type of image reading order indicating a type of image reading task required for the image reading order, and
• the task assignment supporting apparatus comprises processing circuitry configured to:
• store, in a memory, information of types of image reading preferences indicating types of image reading tasks preferred by each radiologist, of a plurality of radiologists, and a proficiency attainment time relating to each radiologist, the proficiency attainment time being set for each radiologist;
• acquire the image reading order and the type of image reading order;
• assign to the image reading order, by accessing the stored information in the memory, a radiologist with a type of image reading preference corresponding to the type of image reading order;
• change an assignment ratio of a number of image reading orders among the plurality of radiologists when assigning the plurality of radiologists to a plurality of image reading orders, in accordance with a remaining period left until the proficiency attainment time for each of the plurality of radiologists;
• and
• update the proficiency attainment time for at least one of the plurality of radiologists based on an output of a trained artificial intelligence model.
