Monitorimi

Monitorimi is the Albanian term for monitoring, defined as the systematic process of observing, measuring, and recording information about conditions, activities, or phenomena over time to assess status, performance, or compliance. It is used across public, private, and academic contexts to provide timely data that support decision making, risk management, and accountability. The concept encompasses planning, data collection, measurement, analysis, reporting, and feedback, and its methods vary by sector.

Core components include clear objectives, defined indicators, appropriate sampling or sensing methods, data quality control, and governance structures. Techniques range from environmental sensors and remote sensing to clinical monitoring, process control dashboards, log analysis in information technology, and financial or regulatory surveillance. Common types of monitorimi include environmental monitoring (air, water, soil), health or epidemiological monitoring, industrial or operational monitoring, cybersecurity or IT monitoring, and financial or compliance monitoring.

Ethical and legal considerations focus on privacy, consent, data minimization, transparency, and accountability, particularly when monitoring individuals or sensitive data. Benefits of monitorimi include early detection of problems, improved safety and quality, regulatory compliance, performance optimization, and evidence-based decision making. Challenges include data quality and interoperability, resource requirements, data overload, false positives or negatives, and balancing monitoring with individual rights. Effective monitorimi relies on clear indicators, standardized methods, robust data management, and ongoing governance to ensure usefulness and trust.
