Scenario: Records are received in a work queue and need to be sent, or moved, to a medical records department for the purpose of importing/scanning to a patient chart

There are two distinct roles in this workflow, both with different responsibilities and both equally as important. 

Original Receiving Work Queue: The person, or team, who access the received items and 'sorts' them for processing.

Medical Records Department: The person, or team, responsible for importing/scanning records to a patient's chart. 

This workflow leverages ghost users for the purpose of assignment to help Medical Records department easily identify items that should be scanned and for which department.
