First Claim
Patent Images
1. A medical practice workflow system, the system comprising:
- a practice database storing practice data according to multiple practice classifications;
a tasking module communicatively coupled to the practice database and configured to allocate automatically resources to a task by correlating resource information in the practice data with rule-based task criteria;
a user interface communicatively coupled to the tasking module, through which a member of the practice is able to submit the rule-based task criteria, the rule-based task criteria capable of triggering an exception task;
a rules engine configured to analyze a state of the task with respect to the practice data across multiple classifications, and further configured to generate the exception task via the tasking module upon detecting the exception as function of the rule-based task criteria and the practice data; and
wherein the tasking module configures the user interface to present the exception task.

Abstract
A workflow management system is presented. The workflow management system can include a tasking module and rules engine. Users can interface with the tasking module to define tasks having rule-based task criteria. The rules engine monitors data associated with running a business, including data classified across business segments, to determine if an exception to the task criteria has occurred. If so, the tasking module can automatically generate an exception task to handle the exception and present exception tasks to one or more users.
