METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR UTILIZING TASK VALUE UNITS FOR IMAGING INTERPRETATION AND OTHER TASKS

摘要

A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided in order to utilize task value units for imaging interpretation and other tasks, such as in the assignment of imaging interpretation and other tasks to a plurality of users. In the context of a method, the method associates, for each of a plurality of different types of imaging interpretation tasks and for each of a plurality of other tasks, a first task value unit therewith. The method also associates, for at least some of the plurality of different types of imaging interpretation or other tasks, a second task value unit, different than the first task value unit, therewith. Further, the method assigns imaging interpretation and other tasks to a plurality of users based at least partially upon the first and second task value units associated with the respective imaging interpretation tasks and the other tasks.
