Insurance-driven worklist guides teleradiology assignments
Health Imaging News, June 24, 2008

Now a team of physicians from Staten Island University Hospital in New York has addressed the deficiency by developing a worklist tool that assigns studies based on a patient's insurance and a radiologist's credentialing status.
