Systems and methods for intelligent radiology work allocation

A method comprising:

• assigning, by executing an instruction with a processor, a first medical exam to a first examiner based on a workload availability threshold for the examiner and an examiner availability indicator for the first examiner;
• delivering, by executing an instruction with the processor, the first medical exam to one of a reading tool to be displayed via a first graphical user interface or an examiner work queue to be displayed via a second graphical user interface, the first graphical user interface and the second graphical user interface to be viewed by the first examiner;
• receiving, via a third graphical interface, a first user input including a first adjustment to the workload availability threshold for the first examiner based on the delivery of the first exam to the reading tool or the examiner work queue, the third graphical interface to be viewed by a second examiner;
• automatically adjusting, by executing an instruction with the processor, a workload availability threshold for a third examiner based on the first adjustment;
• and
• assigning, by executing an instruction with the processor, a second medical exam to the first examiner or the third examiner based on the respective adjusted work availability thresholds for the first examiner and the third examiner.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause a machine to at least:

• assign a first medical exam to a first examiner based on a workload availability threshold for the examiner and an examiner availability indicator for the first examiner;
• deliver the first medical exam to one of a reading tool to be displayed via a first graphical user interface or an examiner work queue to be displayed via a second graphical user interface, the first graphical user interface and the second graphical user interface to be viewed by the first examiner;
• receive, via a third graphical interface, a first user input including a first adjustment to the workload availability threshold for the first examiner based on the delivery of the first exam to the reading tool or the examiner work queue, the third graphical interface to be viewed by a second examiner;
• automatically adjust a workload availability threshold for a third examiner based on the first adjustment;
• and
• assign a second medical exam to the first examiner or the third examiner based on the respective adjusted work availability thresholds for the first examiner and the third examiner.
