Method and apparatus for remote site monitoring

A site monitoring apparatus, comprising:

• a processor configured to convert site data from one or more clinical sites into a site-level data quality score, the site data including clinical monitoring data, and the site-level data quality score based on at least two metrics;
• and
• a component configured to output the site-level data quality score,
• wherein the conversion comprises:
• calculating a site-metric risk indicator for each metric based on applying a metric risk profile for each metric to the site data;
• and
• calculating the site-level data quality score based on the site-metric risk indicators,
• and wherein each metric risk profile is generated based on automatically scaling an historic clinical study data statistical distribution by a ratio of a clinical study benchmark to a benchmark of the historic clinical study data
