Objective:Constructing a scientific research performance evaluation index system based on the departments of a tertiary hospital in Xinjiang.Methods:Delphi method and the boundary value method are used to establish the scientific research performance evaluation indicators of the hospital clinical departments, then the analytic hierarchy process is used to determine the weights of indicators at all levels.Results:A scientific research performance evaluation index system of a tertiary hospital in Xinjiang was set up, which including 3 first-level indicators, 14 second-level indicators, and 49 third-level indicators.Conclusions:The departmental scientific research performance evaluation index system established has reasonable scientificity, objectivity and feasibility, and it can be used as a reference for the evaluation of scientific research performance of departments in the tertiary hospitals.
