Analysis of the current state of medical scientific achievements management in Shanghai / 中华医院管理杂志

Objective To boost the transformation and sustainable development of medical scientific achievements. Methods Investigations in the form of questionnaires were made and descriptive statistics was conducted. Results Eighty to ninety percent of the achievements awards were allocated to the research project teams or the principal prize winners. Most of the achievements transformation awards were retained by the units while only ten to twenty percent went to the principal awardees and only two to three percent went to the management and intermediary personnel. There also existed such problems as weak awareness of achievements transformation and lack of scientificalness in the achievements review and evaluation system, assessment system and assessment indexes. Conclusion The awareness of scientific achievements transformation should be enhanced and the transformation should be implemented on a market oriented and commercial basis; the scientificalness of achievements review and evaluation should be improved; more awards should be given and more social fundraising activities should be conducted; and scientific research management should be included among the factors to be considered when allocating money awards.
