The purpose of the establishment of the "Clinical Informatics and Medical Statistics Research Center (CIMS)" is to enhance academic research, and to develop the statistical science applied to clinical study of the information arising from research areas, such as: clinical trials, clinical epidemiology, pharmacoeconomics and genetic epidemiology.

 

 

Our research center also combines with the research resources from the Chang Gung Memorial Hospital to promote the momentum of the clinical research. The center's implementation will be different from the consulting scale of the general biological statistical centers as it will take research services as the primary consideration, application as the main axis, supplemented by science applications of clinical information, so that it can present more specifically the problem that occurred from the clinical research, and to reach the essence of solving clinical problems.

 

 

The center is deployed under the 1st class research unit of Chang Gung University; externally its primary objective is to cooperate with Chang Gung Memorial Hospital and to provide research services. By applying similar models with the hospital, it is to introduce large research projects with industrial pharmaceutical companies, and to establish cooperation models. Internally research teaching is the primary objective, orientated by the clinical research questions, to enhance research energy and to establish the course of study to another goal, therefore to achieve unity of the philosophy of research teaching and research services.

「臨床資訊與醫學統計研究中心」設立之目的在提高學術研究，發展統計科學應用於臨床醫學研究中所產生之資訊研究範疇，如：臨床試驗、臨床流行病學、藥物經濟學及遺傳流行病學。

  

 

    本中心之設置目標在於提高學術研究與臨床研究教學，發展統計科學應用於臨床醫學研究中所產生之資訊研究範疇，並結合本中心與長庚醫院區之研究資源，促進臨床醫學研究能量。有別於一般生物統計中心諮詢之規模，研究服務為首要考量，以應用為主軸，輔以臨床資訊應用方法學，如此才能將臨床醫學研究所發生之問題更具體呈現，達到解決臨床問題之真諦。

 

 

    本中心雖隸屬於長庚大學之單位，但仍以與長庚醫院合作並提供研究服務為首要目標，可以藉助與長庚醫院合作之模式，引進與業界如藥廠之大型研究計畫，建立建教合作模式。對內則以研究教學為宗旨，以實際之臨床研究問題為導向，提升研究能量，並以成立「臨床醫學研究所臨床資訊組碩士班」為另一目標，達到教學研究與研究服務合一之理念。
