Abstract
A device, system, and method determines a reading environment by synthesizing downstream needs. The method at a workflow server includes receiving a request from a physician device utilized by a referring physician, the request directed to performing an imaging procedure. The method includes determining at least one normalized need from the request, the normalized need corresponding to the referring physician. The method includes generating information to be included in a reading environment based on the at least one normalized need, the information assisting an image interpreter in interpreting the imaging procedure.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- at a workflow server:
- receiving a request from a physician device utilized by a referring physician, the request directed to performing an imaging procedure and including at least one need of the referring physician;
- determining the at least one need from the request;
- associating the at least one determined need with at least one normalized need from a predetermined set of normalized needs;
- and
- determining at least one workflow solution to be included in an image reading environment based on the at least one normalized need, the at least one workflow solution being an automated application executable in the image reading environment for assisting an image interpreter in interpreting the imaging procedure.
A workflow server, comprising:
- a transceiver communicating via a communications network, the transceiver configured to exchange data with a physician device utilized by a referring physician and an image interpreter device utilized by an image interpreter;
- a memory storing an executable program;
- and
- a processor that executes the executable program that causes the processor to perform operations, comprising:
- receiving a request from a physician device utilized by a referring physician, the request directed to performing an imaging procedure and including at least one need of the referring physician;
- determining the at least one need from the request;
- associating the at least one determined need with at least one normalized need from a predetermined set of normalized needs;
- and
- determining at least one workflow solution to be included in an image reading environment based on the at least one normalized need, the at least one workflow solution being an automated application executable in the image reading environment for assisting an image interpreter in interpreting the imaging procedure.

- determining the at least one need from the request;
- associating the at least one determined need with at least one normalized need from a predetermined set of normalized needs;
- determining at least one workflow solution based on the at least one normalized need, the at least one workflow solution respectively associated with defining a manner that the imaging procedure is to be performed, the at least one workflow solution being an automated application executable in the image reading environment for assisting an image interpreter in interpreting the imaging procedure;
- and
- generating a reading environment based on the at least one normalized need, the reading environment providing the at least one workflow solution.
