Making radiology assignment rules visible.

The brief

An exam needs the right doctor before its deadline.

i-medical supplied requirements for an orchestrator that assigns radiology exams automatically. Each assignment had to account for the exam type, the doctor's availability and limits, the institution's reporting deadline, and whether the exam belonged to an insurance, private or public-health system.

Administrators needed to set those rules, check the queue and change an assignment when necessary. I started with the navigation and wireframes, then worked through selected screens in high fidelity.

Decision 01

I gave assignment rules their own screen.

I organized the work around the exam queue, doctor management, rule configuration, delivery timing and analytics.

In the queue, administrators can check urgency and see who has each exam. I put the assignment rules on a separate screen so there was room to explain what each rule does.

Decision 02

A doctor's schedule needs room for exceptions.

I designed recurring hours alongside date-specific exceptions, with a calendar to show when a doctor can receive exams.

The exception flow includes a date, start and end times, and a note. That gives administrators a place to record a holiday or coverage change without rewriting the recurring schedule.

Decision 03

I made it clear where each deadline applies.

An institution can set reporting deadlines by modality and exam type. I put delivery timing on its own screen. Each timing set shows where it applies, how many triggers are active and whether the set is enabled.

The requirements also called for notifications and reassignment before a deadline. I kept those settings with the delivery rules so administrators could configure them together.

I couldn't answer every question from competitor material.

I reviewed public material for Philips, Siemens and Intelerad. I didn't have direct access to their tools, so I could only compare what they documented about routing, workload and deadlines.

I still had questions about doctor earnings, insurance-based routing and approval for extra exams. The available documentation wasn't enough to confirm how each platform handled them.
