Design and practice of hierarchy three-level index system for scientific research performance evaluation / 中华医学科研管理杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective By using the approach of "hierarchy three-level index system",this study aims at achieving precise scientific research performance evaluation,improving the proportion of high-tech products,and complementing the accumulative effect of conventional evaluation system.Methods This study transforms the conventional "plat three-level index system" into ‘hierarchy three-level index system',which consists of three levels of indexes,namely the national level,provincial level and local level.Candidates are categorized into three echelons according to the criteria for inclusion.Candidates of each echelon are evaluated and ranked by three-level indexes.Fuwai hospital's scientific advanced departments and individuals were evaluated by these two methods mentioned above,and the results were compared.Results These two index system are basically the same regarding to the overall evaluation pattern.Hierarchy three-level index system better displays the‘ quality strategy',allowing units with greater proportion of high-tech products to stand out as well as reducing the accumulative effect of massive production of medium-and-low-end products.Conclusions "Hierarchy three-level index system" is the remedy for the deficiencies of the conventional "plat three-level index system",it improves the reliability and validity of technology evaluation.Therefore,the system will contribute to the selection of scientific brains and the establishment of technology innovation system.
