Abstract:
Objective:To understand the current status of scientific and technological personnel cognition regarding patent transformation and utilization in hospitals, explore the implementation effectiveness and existing problems of hospital patent operation management measures, and thereby identify key areas and provide targeted guidance for subsequent improvement efforts.Methods:A questionnaire survey was conducted among scientific and technological personnel at a tertiary public hospital in Shanghai. The survey assessed their patent knowledge, investigated their training needs related to patent transformation and utilization, and evaluated the perceived importance and satisfaction with the hospital′s patent operation management measures. Descriptive statistics, ANOVA, t-tests, and Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA) were used to analyze the personnel's improvement demands regarding patent operation.Results:A total of 261 scientific and technological personnel were included. Their overall patent knowledge assessment score was relatively low (46.86±15.52), and their training topic needs were dispersed. The mean scores for both importance (4.13±0.74) and satisfaction (3.90±0.80) regarding the 11 hospital patent operation management measures were above the midpoint. IPA results indicated that: four measures, including ″improving patent transformation/utilization regulations″ and ″implementing salary rewards for achievements transformation, ″ should be maintained (high importance, high satisfaction); two measures, including ″establishing special funds for achievements transformation″ and ″introducing professional service agencies″, require concentrated improvement (high importance, low satisfaction); three measures, including ″building medical-industry-academia-research collaboration platforms″ and ″implementing tiered and classified training″, could be opportunistically optimized (low importance, high satisfaction); two measures, including ″integrating achievements transformation into hospital priorities″ and ″linking patent transformation to performance evaluation and professional promotion″, showed no priority for improvement (low importance, low satisfaction).Conclusions:Effective hospital patent operation management necessitates establishing a robust organizational and institutional framework, cultivating scientific talent with a transformation-oriented mindset, optimizing resource inputs such as funding, technology, information, and services, and actively exploring new paradigms for medical-industry-academia-research collaboration.
