20110153358	PROTOCOL COMPLEXITY ANALYZER - The present invention includes a system and methods for planning a medical study. The system for planning a medical study includes a display device and a data store comprising a plurality of medical procedures for at least one of designing and executing a medical study. The system further includes a service delivery device operatively coupled to the display device and the data store. The service delivery device includes a processor and a memory for storing instructions. In response to receiving a request to plan a medical study, the memory causes the processor to (1) select a set of procedures from the plurality of medical procedures; (2) assign a work effort unit for each procedure included in the set of procedures, with the work effort unit based on at least one of procedure type, procedure cost, procedure time, and procedure phase; (3) calculate a complexity level for the set of procedures based on the work effort units; and (4) evaluate whether the complexity level is appropriate for the medical procedure by comparing the calculated complexity level to a threshold level, where the threshold value represents a desirable complexity level for the study.	06-23-2011
