1. A system for planning a medical study comprising:

  • a display device;

    a data store comprising a plurality of medical procedures for at least one of designing and executing a medical study;

    a service delivery device operatively coupled to said display device and said data store, said service delivery device including a processor and a memory for storing instructions that, in response to receiving a request to plan a medical study, cause the processor to;

    select a set of procedures from said plurality of medical procedures;

    assign a work effort unit for each procedure included in said set of procedures, said work effort unit based on at least one of procedure type, procedure cost, procedure time, and procedure phase;

    calculate a complexity level for said set of procedures based on said work effort units; and

    evaluate whether the complexity level is appropriate for said each procedure by comparing said calculated complexity level to a threshold level, said threshold value representing a desirable complexity level for said study.
