The center is currently focusing on the application of clinical data in the hospital and actively nurturing the younger generation of hospital clinicians. It is expected to become the best clinical research assistant for younger doctors, so that the center's clinical hypothesis can be verified by the hospital database and published at the medical associations at home and abroad, showing CMUH’s research potential.

Another important feature of the center is the industry-academia research and development platform for the analysis of hospital data and the development of relevant clinical information assistance systems for the purpose of improving medical quality, hoping to translate into industrial goods and help improve the medical safety and quality of the people.

Mission and Functions
