Claim 6:
7. A workflow server, comprising:
a transceiver communicating via a communications network, the transceiver configured to continuously exchange data with a physician device utilized by a referring physician and an image interpreter device utilized by an image interpreter during an imaging procedure;
a memory storing an executable program; and
a processor that executes the executable program that causes the processor to perform operations, comprising:
receiving an electronic request for the imaging procedure from the physician device utilized by the referring physician, wherein the electronic
request comprises an identification of the referring physician or information related to the imaging procedure;
determining a need of the referring physician from the identification or information related to the imaging procedure in the electronic request;
determining at least one normalized need of the referring physician from the need of the referring physician based on extracting a lexical element of the electronic request and using the extracted lexical element to perform a search on a predetermined set of normalized needs;
mapping the at least one normalized need of the referring physician to at least one workflow solution to be included in an image reading environment;
generating the image reading environment including the at least one workflow solution that is mapped based on the at least one normalized need of the referring physician;
transmitting the image reading environment including the at least one workflow solution to the image interpreter device utilized by the image interpreter;
receiving, from the image interpreter device, inputs received from the image interpreter;
modifying the image reading environment based on the inputs, wherein the image reading environment continues to include the at least one workflow solution that is mapped based on the at least one normalized need of the referring physician; and
transmitting the modified image reading environment to the image interpreter device.
