A METHOD, A SYSTEM AND A COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR DIAGNOSTIC WORKFLOW MANAGEMENT

摘要

According to the method of a workflow management according to the invention, at step 2 an available time for executing a sequence of handlings is accessed. At step 4 the template comprising the sequence of handlings 4a is accessed, whereby" each handling is assigned its corresponding duration 4b. At step 6 a difference between the available time span and a sum of said corresponding durations is calculated, whereas at step 8 an allowable duration for executing the sequence is assigned based on said difference. At step 14 of the method the sequence 4a is adjusted yielding the adjusted sequence 14a, which integral duration 14b fits into the available time span, as given at step 2. Preferably, the step of adjusting the sequence 14 is performed using a suitable optimization routine which is arranged to optimize a parameter "scan time" while keeping other parameters within acceptable level.
