[Expert consensus on science and technology evaluation in Chinese hospitals (2025 edition)].

Scientific and technological evaluation serves as a pivotal mechanism for fostering innovation. Objective and scientific evaluation markedly enhances technological innovation capacity and vitality. Presently, research-oriented hospitals in China bear the mission of facing four key orientations: the global scientific and technological frontiers, the development of the economy, the major needs of the country, the health and safety of people. These institutions also bear the responsibility for high-quality development. Establishment of a technological evaluation system aligned with contemporary needs is essential. Such a system can scientifically lead an advanced medical innovation, accelerate transformation of research outcomes, and contribute substantially to the "Healthy China" strategy. Collaborative research group on deepening reform of science and technology evaluation in Chinese hospitals and clinical research management group of scientific research management branch of medical scientific research management of Chinese Medical Association, in collaboration with institutions and expert teams, dedicated to research and management of hospital technological evaluation systems, alignment with national demands occurs. Reference to the global research advancements and integrations of hospital practices inform the formulation of this expert consensus. This consensus systematically delineates the framework for constructing and applying a technological evaluation system in Chinese hospitals. Through a scientific and standardized evaluation mechanism, enhancement of hospital innovation capacity and optimization of medical service quality will be promoted. The consensus encompasses evaluation objectives, principles, system constructions, application strategies, and supportive measures. A highly operational indicator system and implementation pathway are provided. Guidance is offered for hospital administrators, policymakers, and researchers.
