Resumen
En un hospital universitario, la asistencia, la educación y la investigación están ligadas
entre sí. Es propósito de este trabajo destacar la significación de la investigación
científica como misión académica de los hospitales públicos universitarios. La
integración de la investigación con la práctica clínica garantiza mayor calidad en los
servicios de salud, mejor implantación de los avances médicos en la prevención y
tratamiento de las enfermedades y un cuidado más ético y eficiente para los
pacientes. Lograr tal integración implica una asistencia médica de excelencia, unos
profesionales mejor formados y más reconocidos en su quehacer investigativo, un
financiamiento suficiente y claro, la integridad del sistema institucional que da soporte
a la actividad investigativa y la incorporación sostenida de investigadores jóvenes.
Son necesarios cambios en la enseñanza de la medicina, en la organización de la
investigación y en la organización hospitalaria. A esta última le corresponde afrontar
el reto de la investigación traslacional. El hospital universitario reúne las
características para nuclear la investigación traslacional y brindar una alternativa de
acción efectiva a la compleja relación existente entre la investigación en salud y la
toma de decisiones a nivel político, para lograr finalmente el acercamiento entre la
asistencia y la investigación. Los responsables hospitalarios han de tomar conciencia
de que la investigación biomédica es también un producto hospitalario. Los hospitales
universitarios y otros, de menor o mayor complejidad, deben realizar actividades
asistenciales, docentes y de investigación, para brindar una asistencia de calidad
haciendo uso de la mejor evidencia científica disponible.
Assistance, education and research are mutually linked in a university hospital. The objective of this paper is to underline the meaning of the scientific research as an academic mission of the public university hospitals. The integration of research with the clinical practice assures higher quality of health services, better implementation of medical advances in the prevention and treatment of diseases and more ethical and efficient care to patients. Reaching such integration involves medical assistance of excellence, better prepared and more acknowledged professionals in their research work, adequate financing and the integrity of the institutional system that supports the research activity, without ignoring the sustained involvement of young researchers. The abovementioned involves changes in medical education, in the organization of the research activity and of the hospitals as well. The university hospital has the right characteristics to face the translational research challenge, to serve as a core and to provide effective alternative to the complex relationship between health research and decision taking at the political level, so that assistance and research can finally get closer. The hospital officials must be aware of the fact that biomedical research is also a hospital product. The university hospitals, either more or less complex, should perform assistance, teaching and research activities to offer quality care and to make the best use of the scientific evidence at its disposal.
