Abstract: A method for determining a site performance index includes receiving data from one or more clinical trial sites, associating the clinical trial site data with at least one site performance factor, calculating a weighting value for the site performance factor, and generating the site performance index based on the weighted site performance factor. An apparatus for determining a site performance index is also described and claimed and includes a site data filter, a data stream analyzer, and an aggregator.

Abstract: An improved system for determining clinical trial site performance includes a site data filter for separating data corresponding to a clinical trial site into at least one site performance factor category data stream, where each site performance factor category comprises at least one site performance factor and each factor comprises at least one factor choice, a data stream analyzer for analyzing the site performance factor category data stream to determine a factor choice met for each site performance factor and to output a value for the determined factor choice, where the determined factor choice is multiplied by a weighting value, and an aggregator for aggregating the weighted, determined factor choices into a site performance index, where the weighting value is adjusted based on a user's input. An improved method for determining clinical trial site performance is also described and claimed.
