Essential issues of transfer of knowledge and medical technology in pediatric endocrinology
Journal Title: Український журнал дитячої ендокринології - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 3
Abstract
Objective — improvement of information provision for pediatric endocrinologists. Materials and methods. Abstracts of reports for scientific researches (39) and researches (79) conducted in Ukraine in 2001–2017, research informational and innovational resources provided in record cards, their semantic, informational, scientometric, bibliometric, patent, statistical analysis methods; pediatric endocrinologist surveys (50). Results and discussion. It has been established that, in economic aspect, transfer of technology can be commercial and non-commercial. In the area of children and adolescents health care, non-commercial transfer is primarily used, instrument of which is scientific technical information: scientific and occupational journals, their databases and databanks, patent publications, reference books, reports and contributions to conferences, workshops, symposiums, trade shows, internship of scientists and specialists in universities and organizations; scientific technical information exchange. It has been established that implementation of new methods of prevention, diagnostics, treatment and organizational decision-making in the area of pediatric endocrinology includes three major steps: acquisition of primary information on medical technologies through means of scientific communication; organization of their implementation at a workplace and handling of material, technical, legal, financial and personnel issues as to their use (making an appropriate agreement), as well as designer supervision. We have conducted informational and analytical evaluation of research process and non-commercial transfer of knowledge and technology in pediatric endocrinology in Ukraine in 2001–2017. Analysis of researches indicates an increase in scientific research and research quantity (1.5 times), shows their topical direction, indicates structure of created scientific product (publications, intellectual property items, guidance documents etc.), and establishes ways of scientific result usage by pediatric endocrinologists. Conclusions. In Ukraine, there is a stable process of research in essential directions of pediatric endocrinology. Appropriate informational and innovational resources are being generated. However, their usage by specialists is associated with a number of outstanding issues, including development of a conceptual construct, imperfection of channels for transferring scientific product to the professional community, absence of methodology for assessment of non-commercial transfer of medical technology. Further research of this issue will help to improve transfer of knowledge and technology not only in separate areas of pediatric endocrinology, but in children and adolescents health care in general.
