1. A document imaging and management system, comprising: a device for imaging at least one coversheet and at least one document associated with the coversheet; a database including a plurality of rules for managing documents and tasks; at least one processor; software executing on said at least one processor for creating and storing a document profile unique to a particular document and creating a document key unique to the document before the document is imaged, wherein the document profile includes the document key unique to the document and routing instructions for the document, and wherein a coversheet of the document includes at least one computer readable identifier indicative of the document key; software executing on said at least one processor for reading the computer-readable identifier from coversheet and matching the imaged document to the stored document profile based on the document key; software executing on said at least one processor for routing the imaged document based on the stored document profile; software executing on said at least one processor for determining at least one task associated with the document based on the stored document profile and at least one of the plurality of rules; and error detection software executing on said processor for monitoring imaged documents received by the system and pending document keys for which document profiles have been created to detect unmatched imaged documents and unmatched pending document keys, wherein said error detection software stores the imaged document in an error storage if the imaged document is received but not matched to the document key.
