Objective  To formulate a medical endoscopy service evaluation system, so as to guide the hospitals to select products, provide advices for manufacturers to improve the service, and finally improve the overall service capacity of medical endoscopy industry. Methods  The whole study was conducted from January to December 2018. Firstly, Delphi method was used to establish the evaluation indexes, which helped to get the evaluation scenario. Secondly, the evaluation mechanism was established through the association of three central hospitals with their medical treatment partnerships and collaborative hospitals. Thirdly, the popular medical endoscopy brands in China were evaluated for a long time by means of information technology. Results  Finally, more than 80% of the provinces of China were covered by the medical endoscopy services evaluation, and 51 hospitals participated in the evaluation. At the end of 2018, 1 450 valid data were collected, of which the annual average abnormal data was less than 5%. With the score ranking, the highest score was 4.45, the lowest score was 3.27, and the average score was 3.85. The preliminary evaluation results were sent to medical endoscopy manufacturers. Conclusions  The " multi-center hospital” medical endoscopy service evaluation system established in this study has the characteristics that the indexes are scientific, and the evaluation is comprehensive and wide-coverage. It provides a feasible and effective solution for medical endoscopy service evaluation and plays an important role in improving the whole medical endoscopy service level and brand value.
