Method, a System, and a Computer Program for Diagnostic Workflow Management

A system for diagnostic workflow management, said system comprising:

• an input for accessing a template comprising sequence of handlings with their corresponding durations and for accessing available time span for executing said sequence;
• computing means for calculating a difference between said available time span and a sum of corresponding durations;
• processing means for assigning an allowable duration for said sequence based on said difference;
• optimization means for adjusting the sequence to temporally fit into the allowable duration.

A computer program for enabling a diagnostic workflow management, said method comprising instructions for causing a processor to carry out the following steps:

• accessing a template comprising a sequence of handlings with their corresponding durations;
• accessing available time span for executing said sequence;
• calculating a difference between said available time span and a sum of corresponding durations;
• assigning an allowable duration for said sequence based on said difference;
• adjusting the sequence yielding adjusted sequence temporally fitting into the allowable duration.

A graphic user interface for enabling a diagnostic workflow management, said workflow comprising a sequence of handlings, said graphic user interface comprising:

• a plurality of editable fields arranged to feed back to the user a sequence of handlings together with their respective durations;
• data input means arranged to enable an input of allowable time span for carrying out said sequence;
• first feedback means arranged to display a difference between the time span and the sum of said durations;
• second feedback means arranged to prompt the user for accepting the sequence.
