Abstract:
In consideration of the population aging and growing demands for elderly health care, medical institutions in China are faced with severe challenges. Medical knowledge, given its potential to guide clinical practice, cannot apply to clinical practice directly, and a synergy research network should be built among diversified organizations instead. Authors of this paper described the roadblocks against building a medical synergy network, and presented the experiences of Huashan Hospital, Fudan University in its exploration and development of National Clinical Research Center for Aging and Medicine. In view of major setbacks such as the absence of the following factors, namely the trust towards medical evidences produced in other facilities, a trans-organizational information sharing system, a referral procedure, clear requirements at hospital management level, and a well-functioning reimbursement mechanism. Hence the hospital is required to enhance its functionality of clinical research and play a more active role in the clinical research eco-system.
