Objective  To analyze the scientific research output of West China Hospital of Sichuan University from 2015 to 2020, so as to evaluate the effectiveness of new scientific research management model. Methods  From January 2018, a series of management measures were introduced, including improving research incentive policies, integrating and supporting resources, constructing a scientific quantitative research performance evaluation system, and establishing an information-based research service model. The changes of scientific research output before (2015-2017) and after (2018-2020) the implementation of the management measures were analyzed to evaluate the quality and effectiveness of the management model. Results  A total of 10141 high-quality research papers were seized and 2311 research projects were approved. After the implementation of the measures, the absolute number of papers published and projects approved increased significantly. In terms of high-quality papers published after the implementation of the measures, the increase rate reached 46.80%, among which the number of interdisciplinary papers increased by 116.05%, the number of reviews increased by 96.13%, the numbers of papers published in Area 2 and Area 1 increased by 114.67% and 75.00%, respectively, and the number of co-author papers increased by over seven times. In terms of scientific research projects approved after the implementation of the measures, the number of projects approved by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) increased by 21.03%, and the number of provincial and ministerial projects increased by 110.17%, with the people in charge becoming younger. The number of principal investigators of NSFC increased by 1.67 times. The number of projects managed by intermediate and undetermined professional titles increased by 64.71% and 68.63%, respectively. The number of projects approved by youth and general fund increased by 30.26% and 14.16% respectively. The number of people in charge of provincial and ministerial projects increased by 1.45 times. The number of projects managed by deputy senior and intermediate titles increased by 1.64 times and 1.54 times, respectively. Key research and development projects, key projects, international cooperation projects, and basic application projects saw a significant increase. Conclusions  After the implementation of management measures, the number and overall level of research papers have been improved, and the cross-cooperation between clinical and basic research has been gradually started. The number of projects approved increased significantly, and the project leaders tended to be younger. The high-quality cultivation and continuous growth of scientific research talents achieved initial results.
