First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving a medical request from a medical facility, wherein the medical request comprises a medical facility identifier;
receiving from a data module parameterized doctor information including a plurality of parameters selected from a group consisting of a doctor identifier, doctor schedule information, an order volume and doctor classification composite metric, doctor location information, preference information, performance information, and contract terms;
filtering the medical requests using the medical facility identifier and the parameterized doctor information, wherein the filtering identifies at least one doctor to receive the medical request; and
transmitting the medical request to a client device that is accessible by the identified doctor.

Abstract
A system for managing remote doctor medical request workflow may include a workflow module that optimizes assignments of medical requests to remote doctors based on parameterized doctor and scheduling information and may further include a forecasting module that predicts the hospital credentials, state licenses or doctors needed to fulfill a projected volume of future medical requests. In one embodiment, radiologists are parameterized and then matched with requests for radiological readings based on information extracted from DICOM image headers and merged with associated information contained in a medical work order. In this embodiment, the radiologists are parameterized based on their locations, schedules, hospital credentials, state licensing, compensation metrics, and performance metrics and incoming requests for review of CT scans and the like are filtered based on the parameterized radiologist information to identify one or more radiologists who are to fulfill the medical request.
