Abstract
A diagnostic exam review system is configured to assign queues of diagnostic exams for interpretation by medical professionals. The diagnostic exams are reviewed and recorded in patient files. Some of the exams are reviewed by a second medical professional to determine if the interpretations match. The medical professionals are scored based on whether their interpretations agree, indicating their skill in interpreting a particular type of diagnostic exam. The scores are used to rank medical professionals based on their level of skill.
Claims20
A diagnostic exam review system comprising:
- a diagnostic exam data store;
- a medical professional performance data store;
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one system memory encoding instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to:
- assign queues of diagnostic exams for each of a plurality of medical professionals to interpret, the diagnostic exams including both unreviewed diagnostic exams and reviewed diagnostic exams;
- communicate the queues of diagnostic exams to computing devices operated by each of the plurality of medical professionals;
- receive interpretations for each of the diagnostic exams from the computing devices operated by the medical professionals;
- analyze the interpretations of the diagnostic exams to determine whether at least two medical professionals' interpretations are consistent with one another;
- and
- score the diagnostic exams based on the analysis.

A computer-implemented method of managing medical professional skill accreditation, the method comprising:
- receiving a diagnostic exam at a diagnostic exam review system from a data source;
- assigning the diagnostic exam to a first medical professional for interpretation;
- communicating the diagnostic exam to a computing device operated by the first medical professional;
- receiving a primary interpretation of the diagnostic exam at the diagnostic exam review system from the computing device operated by the first medical professional;
- recording the primary interpretation of the diagnostic exam in an electronic medical record system;
- determining whether the diagnostic exam should be over-read for scoring on the primary interpretation;
- when the diagnostic exam should be over-read, assigning the diagnostic exam to a second medical professional for interpretation;
- communicating the diagnostic exam to a computing device operated by the second medical professional;
- receiving a primary interpretation of the diagnostic exam at the diagnostic exam review system from the computing device operated by the second medical professional;
- determining, at the diagnostic exam review system, if the primary interpretation of the first medical professional agrees with the primary interpretation of the second medical professional;
- when the primary interpretations of the first medical professional and second medical professional disagree, the diagnostic exam is assigned to a third medical professional for interpretation;
- communicating the diagnostic exam to a computing device operated by the third medical professional;
- receiving a primary interpretation of the diagnostic exam at the diagnostic exam review system from the computing device operated by the third medical professional;
- determining, at the diagnostic exam review system, if the primary interpretation of the first medical professional agrees with the primary interpretation of the third medical professional;
- scoring each medical professional's primary interpretation;
- and
- recording the scores in a medical professional performance data store.

- scoring each medical professional's primary interpretation;
- recording the scores in a medical professional performance data store;
- and
- ranking each of the medical professionals based on the scores and recording the ranking in the medical professional performance data store.
