Abstract
A method includes identifying an imaging workflow process and constructing and displaying, in a graphical user interface, a graphical process tree for the imaging workflow process and a plurality of steps thereof. The method further includes identifying a standard of interest and mapping the plurality of steps into the standard of interest in the displayed graphical process tree. The method further includes receiving, via the graphical user interface, an input indicating a potential failure mode information for two or more of the steps, calculating at least one risk priority number for each step, evaluating the numeric assessment of risk based on a risk priority number threshold, and visually highlighting displayed steps corresponding to steps with risk priority numbers that exceed the risk priority number threshold. The method further includes determining a risk management plan to mitigate risk based on the highlighted steps.
