Abstract
We designed a scoring system to rank acute care hospital projects and allocate resources between them. The evaluation tool assessed projects on an ordinal scale; the criteria scored were medical interest, feasi bility, interest for teaching and research, and compatibility with the hospital's strategy. Clinical and technical projects were ranked sepa rately. In 1994, 25 new projects, representing a total cost of $1.4 mi llion, were reviewed by two independent reviewers. The scores ranged f rom 30 to 18 over 36. Projects presented by clinical departments score d higher than projects presented by medicotechnical departments.
