What it is

A radiologist’s day as a list rather than a shared folder. Unreported studies arrive on their own from the reporting room — every radiology report nobody has signed yet — and a study the image archive has been read in from is put on the list by its archive reference. They are routed to a subspecialty by the rules the hospital writes and timed against the turnaround targets the hospital sets. One reader holds a study at a time — a second reader is told who has it — and only the holder can put it back or mark it read. The board shows who has what open and what is past its target. For an imaging centre or a chain, the reading pool decides who reads: each radiologist’s modalities, subspecialties, sites and shifts are on a roster, a study goes to an on-shift radiologist who reads its modality and subspecialty with room in their list (STAT first), and a study not yet taken moves to a lighter reader as its due time nears, or when its reader goes off shift. Nobody off shift is ever routed a study, and every move is logged. Per radiologist the pool shows volume, median turnaround and the share within target. NO TURNAROUND NUMBER SHIPS WITH THE APP: a study with no matching target carries no deadline at all and is shown as unmeasured, and a study nothing routes is shown as unrouted.

Who uses it: Built for: Diagnostics & Labs
Reads: Unsigned radiology reports, archive studies already read in, the hospital’s own targets
Writes: Claims, completions, routing rules, turnaround targets
Never: It does not read the study or write the report, and it does not invent a turnaround target — an untargeted study is shown as unmeasured, not as late.
Access: Only people whose role includes it — the clinic owner decides who
Your data: Full PHI. Hosted in Boston, United States. On uninstall: Every record stays; only the workflow leaves.

How it works

Set the targets and the routing firstOn the policy tab, set what this hospital promises for a stat, an urgent and a routine study, add the subspecialties, and write the rules that send a modality and study text to one of them — none of that ships with the app.
Work the listEverything, Waiting and Mine filter the same list, which carries the patient, the study, the priority, the subspecialty and the target time, and shows a study nothing routed as unrouted rather than assigning it to somebody at random.
Take a studyTake it claims the study for you; a second radiologist opening the same one is refused by name, and only the holder can Put back or mark it Read.
Watch who is carrying whatWho is holding what lists each reader with what they are holding and how much of it is past its target, and a study with no matching target is shown as unmeasured rather than late.
Add a study the archive holdsUnsigned radiology reports arrive on their own; a study that only exists in the image archive is added by its Study Instance UID, and only once that study has actually been read in.

Rules it keeps

What it does not do, by design. A listing with only benefits is an advertisement.

It does not read the study or write the report, and it does not invent a turnaround target — an untargeted study is shown as unmeasured, not as late.

What data does ReadQueue read and write?

ReadQueue reads unsigned radiology reports, archive studies already read in, the hospital’s own targets and writes claims, completions, routing rules, turnaround targets. Its data class is Full PHI. Every app works on the same patient record — nothing is copied into a silo.

What does ReadQueue deliberately not do?

It does not read the study or write the report, and it does not invent a turnaround target — an untargeted study is shown as unmeasured, not as late.

What happens to our data if we uninstall ReadQueue?

Every record stays; only the workflow leaves.

Is ReadQueue available today?

Yes — ReadQueue is live in clinics today. Set up your practice on MedAppz and install it from your dashboard.
