determining, via an artificial intelligence (AI) system, at least one rule corresponding to at least one condition and at least one receiver;

receiving, via the AI system, medical data and associated medical metadata at a digital storage device, wherein the medical data comprises a whole slide image (WSI);

outputting, via the AI system, a quality score for the medical data and the associated medical metadata, the quality score identifying quality control issues in the medical data and the associated medical metadata that affect usability of the medical data and the associated medical metadata for making an assessment;

outputting, via the AI system, a predicted assessment based on the medical data and associated medical metadata;

determining, via the AI system, whether the medical data, the associated medical metadata, and/or the predicted assessment satisfies the at least one condition of the at least one rule based at least in part on a level of confidence in an inability of the AI system to make an assessment, wherein the level of confidence is based at least in part on the quality score;

upon determining that the medical data, the associated medical metadata, and/or the predicted assessment satisfies the at least one condition of the at least one rule, executing the at least one rule corresponding to the at least one condition and the at least one receiver; and

transmitting, to a server associated with the at least one receiver, the medical data and associated medical metadata from an originating institution for review by the at least one receiver, wherein the at least one receiver possesses an expertise related to the predicted assessment of the AI system.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

analyzing the medical data and associated medical metadata to detect at least one unusual measurement or unusual reporting information associated with the medical data and associated medical metadata.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 2 , further comprising:

upon detecting at least one unusual measurement or unusual reporting information associated with the medical data and associated medical metadata, transmitting, from the AI system, the medical data and associated medical metadata.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one rule comprises at least one specific keyword, at least one tissue type, at least one disease condition, at least one submitting clinician, at least one case identifier, and/or at least one accession number.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one condition includes at least one disease type, at least one tissue type, at least one location of a sample, and/or at least one physician assigned to review the data at an originating institution.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the medical data further comprises at least one text-based medicine, at least one text-based note, and/or at least one text-based record.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the associated medical metadata comprises at least one text-based document, at least one text-based diagnosis, and/or at least one text-based lab result document.

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the determining at least one rule comprises a user selecting the at least one rule.

9. A computer system, the computer system comprising:

at least one memory storing instructions; and

at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to perform operations comprising:

determining, via an artificial intelligence (AI) system, at least one rule corresponding to at least one condition and at least one receiver;

receiving, via the AI system, medical data and associated medical metadata at a digital storage device, wherein the medical data comprises a whole slide image (WSI);

outputting, via the AI system, a quality score for the medical data and the associated medical metadata, the quality score identifying quality control issues in the medical data and the associated medical metadata that affect usability of the medical data and the associated medical metadata for making an assessment;

outputting, via the AI system, a predicted assessment based on the medical data and associated medical metadata;

determining, via the AI system, whether the medical data, the associated medical metadata, and/or the predicted assessment satisfies the at least one condition of the at least one rule based at least in part on a level of confidence in an inability of the AI system to make an assessment, wherein the level of confidence is based at least in part on the quality score;

upon determining that the medical data, the associated medical metadata, and/or the predicted assessment satisfies the at least one condition of the at least one rule, executing the at least one rule corresponding to the at least one condition and the at least one receiver; and

transmitting, to a server associated with the at least one receiver, the medical data and associated medical metadata from an originating institution for review by the at least one receiver, wherein the at least one receiver possesses an expertise related to the predicted assessment of the AI system.

10. The computer system of claim 9 , the operations further comprising:

analyzing the medical data and associated medical metadata to detect at least one unusual measurement or unusual reporting information associated with the medical data and associated medical metadata.

11. The computer system of claim 10 , the operations further comprising:
