  • Patent number: 7822622
    Abstract: A method and appertaining system to implement the method optimizes a series of medical procedures/examinations to be performed on a patient by utilizing information and attributes including possibly medical facility attributes, medical department attributes, equipment attributes, personnel attributes, patient generic attributes, patient specific attributes, and medical procedure attributes. A catalog of rules is utilized by the scheduling system to ensure that times between procedures/examinations are optimized and do not violate any rules or constraints of the system. Additionally, portions of the method and system may be utilized to check an existing schedule and provide information to a user without actually modifying the schedule itself.
