AI agent for radiographers
Exam Worklist Prioritization Agent
Keep the most urgent ready exams first all day.
What it does
In a busy imaging department, urgent exams can sit behind routine ones because the worklist is in order of arrival. This agent reads the worklist throughout the day. It orders exams by urgency, prep status (for example fasting, contrast and allergies), and what each room and staff member can do. It flags conflicts such as an urgent CT with no available scanner or tech. When new orders arrive, it re-sorts and tells the lead about any change in the top of the list. It checks that each exam moved up has a ready patient and room. The lead approves the order before it goes live. Edge case: an urgent exam needs sedation, so the agent flags the missing nurse.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
Read the steps as a list
- Worklist refresh
- Read the worklist and orders
- Rank by urgency
- Check prep, room and staff for each exam
- Is each top exam ready with a room and staff?If not: move the next ready exam up and flag the blocker. Back to step 3.
- Lead approves the new orderThe agent waits here for your OK.
- Update the board
- Did the new order change the top of the list?If not: alert the lead and recheck resources. Back to step 2.
- Current prioritized worklist
How it decides
Urgency ranks first, then ready prep and available room and staff. An exam that is not ready cannot jump ahead.
- Mark urgent exams first only when prep is ready
- Flag any urgent exam waiting more than 30 minutes
- Flag missing staff skills such as sedation
- Never skip a patient who has waited beyond the limit without telling the lead
