1. The primary goal of clinical research at community hospitals:

The primary goal of clinical research at a community hospital is to quickly and accurately share and provide solutions to issues in medical practice. In a community hospital, published research results are required for specialty certification applications, etc., but have little impact on job status. Clinical research is the Check stage in the PDCA cycle (Plan, Do, Check, Action) of medical care, and the emphasis is on improving the quality of medical care by quickly sharing results obtained from medical practice. Both speed and accuracy are essential in research reporting, but speed tends to be more critical in community hospitals.
 

2. The current status of clinical researchers:

Clinical researchers are purveyors of information held by their organizations. The clinical researcher is responsible for refining their organization's information using the latest analytical technology and arranging it into a form that is easily understood by the world. The art of clinical research differs from the art of clinical technology. In the area of medical safety, it can be difficult to remedy a problem even if a paper that reveals the problem is published. Also, excelling in clinical research does not guarantee excellence as a clinician.
Our support office recognizes that while we support research, medical teamwork is paramount. Nevertheless, we also believe that refining information and enhancing organizational value through research is also beneficial to the organization, and our goal is to develop a system that provides appropriate support to researchers and others who wish to share information.
 
Clinical research support is expected to contribute to solving problems in the medical field, reducing the waste of medical resources, increasing the competitiveness of facilities and regions, motivating workers, and even partially compensating for the shortage of medical personnel. Our support office will also consider ways to ensure that the benefits generated by clinical research are delivered to those who have contributed as unbiasedly as possible.
 

3. Application of statistics and epidemiology techniques:

Statistical and epidemiological techniques are used to evaluate the accuracy of research results. These techniques not only enhance the value of the paper but also ensure the accuracy of the data analysis process and the interpretation of the results. It can be said that they play a refereeing role in analyzing information and interpreting results to ensure that erroneous analysis results do not affect the field. Since the researcher's thought process and the entire research process affect the statistical analysis and interpretation of results, we recommend consultation on the design and analysis before data collection and the study begins.
 

Although statistical software and epidemiological techniques have evolved in recent years, and the number of analysis rules has increased, the results and implications of a study should be clear. If you are interested, please feel free to contact us.
