1Hospital General "Dr. Manuel Gea Gonzalez," Mexico City, Mexico (Drs Medellin-Lacedelli, Castro-Martinez, Martinez-Hernandez, Romero-Valdovinos, Suarez-Roa, Maravilla, Prado-Calleros, and Sierra-Martinez); and Departamento de Microbiologia y Parasitologia, Facultad de Medicina, Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico, Mexico City, Mexico (Dr Flisser).
This study assessed the return on investment for research at a Mexican hospital. All projects showed positive impacts across five categories, highlighting research
Area of Science:
- Health Services Research
- Bibliometrics
- Health Economics
Background:
- Limited data exists on assessing research impact in Latin American government hospitals.
- A specific focus on Mexico's healthcare research impact assessment is needed.
- The Hospital General "Dr. Manuel Gea Gonzalez" (HGMGG) in Mexico City is a key site for this study.
Purpose of the Study:
- To determine the return on investment (ROI) of research projects conducted at HGMGG.
- To apply a categorization model for assessing research impact.
- To evaluate the benefits of scientific research in a Mexican general university hospital setting.
Main Methods:
- Bibliometric analysis of publications from 2016-2019.
- Investigator interviews utilizing the payback framework.
- Categorization of research outcomes into five defined impact areas.
Main Results:
- All analyzed research studies demonstrated a positive impact.
- Impact was observed across five payback categories: knowledge, capacity building, policy/product development, health benefits, and economic benefits.
Conclusions:
- The study identified opportunities to enhance hospital medical services through scientific research.
- The payback framework effectively categorized the diverse impacts of hospital-based research.
- Developing indicators for research by medical trainees is crucial for Mexican healthcare.
