Defining site scoring parameters (weighting)

Specify the formula used to determine how Oracle Site Select assigns a site score. Your site selection team can use the scores displayed in the site grid to determine which sites are most likely to meet key study criteria.

Oracle Site Select bases site scoring on the “weight” (a whole number) of the following, which must add up to 100%:

• Study fit: the relative weight to allocate for patient demographic parameters (ontological terms) that were defined for the study
• Site performance: the relative weight to allocate to a metric that indicates how well a site delivers patients compared to what was promised
• Experience: the relative weight to allocate a metric that indicates an organization’s experience in past and/or current studies

Note:

By default, a site record field with no data scores 0 for that field. If preferred, you can change the radio button setting (above the percentage fields) to assign empty fields a score of 50.

• Set site scoring parameters (weighting)
  The integer value or "weight" defined for Study fit, Site performance, and Experience categories determines a site's score. This score provides an easy method for the selection team to quickly determine which sites meet the study criteria.
