A processing system and/or method for determining a validation status of anexamination request for a patient, the examination request having contentincludinga plurality of examination data defining a clinical condition of the patient.The systemand/or method can include a receipt module or similar functionality forreceiving theexamination request via a communication network; a storage or similarfunctionalityadapted for storing a plurality of predefined clinical definitions, each ofthe plurality ofpredefined clinical definitions associated with at least one examination type,the atleast one examination type having a match threshold including a subsetdefinition setfrom the plurality of predefined clinical definitions. The system and/ormethod caninclude a matching module or similar functionality adapted for conducting afirststage analysis of the content by comparing the content with the plurality ofpredefined clinical definitions in order to determine one or more matchingdefinitions.The system and/or method can include a validation module or similarfunctionalityadapted for comparing the matching definitions against the match threshold ofeachof the at least one examination type for determining a validation indicator oftheexamination request. The system and/or method can include a response module orsimilar functionality adapted for transmitting the validation status of theexam requestas an exam response via the communications network, the exam responseincludingthe validation indicator.
