Case prioritization for a medical system

A computer-implemented method for providing trained functions for determining a priority of a medical case, comprising:

• receiving a training data set relating to at least one medical training case, and receiving a known training priority for the at least one medical training case;
• applying trainable functions to the training data set, wherein a priority for the at least one medical training case is determined by applying the trainable functions to the training data set;
• comparing the priority with the known training priority;
• and
• adjusting at least one parameter in the trained functions, based upon the comparing of the priority with the known training priority.

An apparatus, comprising:

• computation circuitry;
• a memory to store executable commands from the computation circuitry,
• wherein the computation circuitry is embodied, upon the commands being carried out in the computation circuitry, to carry out at least:
• receiving a data set assigned to a medical case to be processed by a medical system, and
• determining a priority for the medical case using the data set, the determining of the priority including applying trained functions to the data set, the trained functions having been trained using training data sets and appropriate known training priorities;
• and
• an interface to provide the priority for a processing of the medical case.
