Abstract
A method for remote site monitoring includes receiving data from a data site, converting those data into a site-level quality score using a metric risk profile, and calculating a risk indicator based on the site-level quality score. The metric risk profile may be based on historic data and study data, where the study data is received from a plurality of data sites. In some embodiments, converting the data includes normalizing a value of a metric by applying to it the metric risk profile and aggregating the normalized metric values to calculate the site-level quality score. An apparatus for remote site monitoring is also described.
