Abstract

Objective

This paper aims to analyze the competitiveness of science and technology innovation in hospitals within the Yangtze River Delta region and to provide references for the construction and development of medical disciplines and hospitals in this region. Methods To analyze the science and technology innovation development of the top 100 hospitals and disciplines in the Yangtze River Delta region, we utilized one-way ANOVA and the rank-sum ratio (RSR) comprehensive evaluation method based on the Science and Technology Evaluation Metrics (STEM) from 2018 to 2022. Results There are significant geographical differences in the quantitative values of science and technology innovation among hospitals in the Yangtze River Delta region, with Shanghai exhibiting the strongest performance. The distribution of attributions among the top 100 disciplines is uneven, as more than 60% of hospitals are affiliated with universities. The four areas (Shanghai, Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Anhui) within the Yangtze River Delta region display varying strengths and weaknesses across different disciplines. Conclusions We strongly recommend that the Yangtze River Delta region strengthen institutional cooperation and enhance multidisciplinary cross-fertilization to improve overall competitiveness in science and technology innovation.
