Abstract
A distributed network system and method includes a processing unit configured to manage safety data for a plurality of medical devices, a database software component in communication with the processing unit, and a monitoring software component in communication with the processing unit. The monitoring software component is configured to monitor a number of messages between a number of medical devices and the processing unit, to process performance parameters to generate an overall performance index, and to generate an output that is viewable by a user. The output includes relative contributions of each of the performance parameters to the overall performance index, where the overall performance index is generated using a weighting factor associated with each of the performance parameters. The performance parameters include the number of messages waiting to be processed, which has the largest weighting factor, and a disk queue length, which has the smallest weighting factor.
