Abstract:
1. A method comprising: receiving an intra-read percentage; receiving an inter-read percentage; assigning an electrocardiogram (ECG) to a primary reader; receiving a first evaluation of the ECG from the primary reader; selectively reassigning the ECG to the primary reader based upon the received intra-read percentage; receiving a second evaluation of the ECG from the primary reader; selectively assigning the ECG to a secondary reader based upon the received inter-read percentage; and receiving a third evaluation of the ECG from the secondary reader; wherein one or more of said assigning the ECG to a primary reader, selectively reassigning the ECG to the primary reader, and selectively assigning the ECG to a secondary reader is automated in order to minimize manual labor requirements associated with the performance of a clinical trial.
