Summary
With the healthcare reform bill and private sector trends pushing providers to focus on quality outcomes and lower costs, providers are beginning to increase investment in their research programs to help measure and manage these changes. Hospitals are obvious places for this research. In fact, larger health systems might be better positioned than academic institutions because they have access to larger patient populations. Unfortunately, many hospitals have not formally articulated a set of goals to justify their participation in research programs; they have no mechanisms to measure or report a return on these investments. This is a missed opportunity. When investments in research are more closely aligned with the goals of the hospital, participation in research can be an important strategy to help drive results. With clearly defined goals and adequate oversight, hospitals can capitalize on the hidden revenue opportunities inherent in clinical research programs.
