1. A system for processing medical image files comprising:
- an unscreened files module configured to access unscreened medical image files created by at least one imaging modality;
a prescreened files module configured to access prescreened medical image files and an associated diagnosis for each of the prescreened medical image files;
a distribution module comprising;
a selection processor configured to create a selection of medical image files by selecting a plurality of medical image files from the prescreened files data structure and the unscreened files data structure,a transmission processor configured to transmit the selection of medical image files;
at least one workstation comprising;
a receiving processor configured to receive the workflow queue from the distribution module,a user display configured to display each of the medical image files in the selection of medical image files, anda user input configured to receive a user diagnosis associated with the medical image file displayed on the user display;
a comparison module configured to receive the user diagnosis from the at least one workstation and generate comparison data if the user diagnosis is associated with a prescreened medical image file by comparing the user diagnosis with the associated diagnosis; and
a feedback module configured to receive the comparison data from the comparison module and transmit the comparison data to the workstation user display.

Abstract
Systems and methods for processing a workflow are disclosed. Certain embodiments allow prescreened data to be inserted into a workflow. A user'"'"'s interpretation of prescreened data can be compared with previously obtained characteristics, enabling the user'"'"'s interpretive output to be monitored and improved. The disclosed systems and methods have applications including, but not limited to, training, performance analysis, process improvement, and data analysis and data mining in workflows.
