Qilu Hospital of Shandong University is a public Class A Tertiary teaching hospital founded in 1890 and headquartered in Jinan, Shandong Province, China. It operates three campuses — the Jinan main campus (1,000+ beds across multiple specialized buildings), the Qingdao campus, and the Dezhou Hospital — and is administered by the National Health Commission and affiliated with Shandong University as its First Clinical College. The hospital delivers comprehensive tertiary medical care across 36 national key clinical specialties, with a case-mix index of 1.69 ranking 3rd nationally, and serves as a National Medical Center construction unit and lead institution of the first batch of provincial-ministerial co-built national regional medical centers.

The hospital's core capabilities span clinical service delivery, biomedical research, and medical education. It operates 47 provincial and ministerial-level research platforms, including a zero-field medical research center, basic medical research center, clinical research center, biobank, and an AI/medical big data center, and sustained 142 NSFC grants in 2024 and 133 in 2025. Training infrastructure includes 31 national residency training bases, 10 specialty training bases, a national clinical pharmacist training base (established 2005), and a postdoctoral workstation with 146 supervisors and 400+ enrolled postdoctoral researchers. The hospital hosts the peer-reviewed journal Emergency and Critical Care Medicine (ECCM), which received its first JCR impact factor of 1.1 in 2026.

Revenue is generated primarily through clinical services reimbursed under China's national social insurance system at government-regulated fee schedules, supplemented by research grants, residency training stipends, and clinical trial collaborations with pharmaceutical companies. Patient acquisition is driven by institutional reputation (A++ rating for 3 consecutive years, top-13 national ranking), an Internet Hospital platform for online consultations, an online appointment registration system, and outreach through community free clinics and the 齐鲁硕博医疗服务团 (Qilu Doctoral Medical Service Group) serving underserved regions including Qinghai and Tibet. The hospital is structured as a state-owned public institution with no private equity or venture capital ownership.
