ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the sustainable innovative ability of science and technology (S &T) of four large general hospitals from three different regions of China(Chongqing, Shaanxi and Hunan) with an evaluation system. Method The data collected were processed with normalization method. The evaluation models were established and varied in design to reflect either the dynamic trends or the levels of innovative abilities in different hospitals. Results Hospital A, B and D took on an ascending trend in sustainable S & T ability for innovation, while hospital C showed a descending trend in recent years. Overall, hospital A and D had a stronger sustainable S & T ability for innovation than hospital B and C. Conclusion The eval-uation system established is able to reflect the levels and trends of sustainable S & T innovative ability of the selected hospitals, which is in accordance with the actual situations, and is therefore scientific and feasible.It could provide reference for hospital S & T administrators to make decisions and is favorable to the sustainable development of hospital's S & T innovative ability.
