Objective This study focuses on a tertiary public hospital in Ningxia to explore the practical application of discipline-specific research performance evaluation.To establish a performance evaluation index system tailored to the characteris-tics of tertiary public hospitals in underdeveloped regions and propose strategies for improving research performance evaluation through empirical research,thereby promoting high-quality hospital development.Methods Guided by the performance evalua-tion indicators for tertiary public hospitals and the accreditation standards for tertiary hospitals,and aligned with the hospital's o-verall work plan,a multi-dimensional and multi-level evaluation method was adopted.Following the SMART principles(Specific,Measurable,Achievable,Relevant,Time-bound)and differentiated scoring principles,research performance evaluation indica-tors were summarized,screened,and weighted.An empirical analysis of the research status of 20 disciplines from 2021 to 2024 was conducted to establish and continuously optimize a research performance evaluation index system suited to the hospital's needs.Results A research performance evaluation index system for public hospital disciplines was finalized,comprising 5 first-level indicators,14 second-level indicators,and 40 third-level indicators(22 quantitative and 18 qualitative).This system standardized the management of discipline-specific research and effectively promoted steady growth,structural adjustment,and development in hospital research.Conclusion Constructing a scientific,standardized,and operable research performance eval-uation index system is of significant importance for enhancing the research level of disciplines in public hospitals and strengthening discipline construction.
