Abstract: An example system includes a processor to assign a first medical exam to a first examiner based on a workload availability threshold for the first examiner and an examiner availability indicator for the first examiner. The processor can deliver the first medical exam to one of a reading tool displayed via a first graphical user interface or an examiner work queue displayed via a second graphical user interface. The processor can automatically adjust a workload availability threshold for a second examiner and the first examiner based on a first adjustment, assign a second medical exam to the first examiner or the second examiner based on the respective adjusted work availability thresholds for the first examiner and the second examiner, and auto-serve additional medical exams to the first examiner or the second examiner based on a priority level of the additional medical exams.
