Objective:This study aims to explore how urban medical groups can empower the scientific research development of primary hospitals through collaborative efforts, providing experience reference for the research construction of medical consortiums.Methods:Taking the Shenzhen Dapeng New District Medical and Health Group as an example, the study examined the impact of the group′s establishment on the research capabilities of primary hospitals in terms of research spirit, team and facilities. It summarized the group′s efforts to promote primary hospital research outcomes through various measures, including establishing funds, building mechanisms, setting up platforms and implementing stratified training.Results:The number of research projects approved by the group had significantly increased, with participation in national key research and development projects as sub-centers for cohort studies. The publication volume of SCI papers had continuously climbed. The integration of research and clinical practice had promoted the introduction of new technologies, significantly enhancing diagnostic and treatment capabilities and public satisfaction.Conclusions:Urban medical groups can address challenges such as the scarcity of research resources in primary hospitals through collaborative mechanisms, offering a replicable pathway for research capacity improvement. However, there is still room for improvement, including deepening the cultivation of scientific research talents and improving the support system to promote the sustainable development of primary hospital research.
