Translation model of scientific and technological achievements in medical institutions: case analysis based on the transformation of " orthopedic surgical robot" / 中华医院管理杂志

ABSTRACT

In consideration of the current policies for scientific and technological achievement translation, the paper explored the model and strategy of such translation in medical institutions by analyzing typical cases of " orthopedic surgical robot" translation. Most common translation models in medical institutions are transfer or licensing. As hospitals lack the qualifications and conditions for product manufacturing and sales, " orthopedic surgical robot" was translated by means of a combined practice of both patent transfer and joint R&D with the enterprise under a strategic cooperation agreement. This practice not only manifested the contribution and interests of stakeholders in a rational way, but also guaranteed sustainable iterative R&D. Hospitals should launch cooperation with enterprises, universities or research organizations and form strategic alliances, and choose appropriate translation models based on their specifics, value and characteristics of the achievement flexibly.
