1. A system for generating an optimized assignment schedule for a future time period, the system comprising:

  • a data module to provide data associated with previous radiological reading requests submitted by a plurality of medical facilities at a plurality of different locations;

    a prediction generator to generate an optimized assignment schedule based upon die future time period, the prediction generator configured for;

    identifying a volume of previous radiological reading requests associated with each location, the volume relating to a prior time period;

    identifying a volume of future radiological reading requests expected to be received from the medical facilities during the future time period, the future time period being the same length as the prior time period;

    identifying one or more assignment parameters selected from the group consisting of doctor work schedules, expected licensing approvals, expected credentialing approvals, medical facility preferences for certain doctors, doctor contract terms, doctor compensation metrics, historical doctor performance metrics, and additional medical facilities to be serviced during the future time period;

    identifying, within the doctor work schedules, a list of scheduled doctors associated with the future time period;

    identifying an optimized assignment schedule, including;

    (a) assigning each of the volume of future radiological reading requests to one of the scheduled doctors; and

    (b) creating a proposed assignment schedule based upon the assignments;

    wherein identifying the optimized assignment schedule is repeated for a plurality of iterations, each iteration including a different combination of doctors and radiological reading requests.
