Newsweek and Statista developed a complex methodology to ensure the quality and validity of the ranking. Major changes were made in this year’s edition. A global board of experts supported the continuous development of the methodology.
Four data sources were used for the evaluation, including:
- Recommendations from Medical Experts: Online survey among tens of thousands of doctors, health care professionals, and hospital managers in 30 countries
- Results from Patient Surveys: Survey of patient satisfaction with hospitalization
- Hospital Quality Metrics: Medical indicators e.g., data on quality of care for treatments, hygiene measures, patient safety, and waiting times.
- PROMs Implementation Survey: Optional online survey on the implementation and use of PROMs in hospitals.
Based on the above four pillars and their respective weights, a final source was calculated for each hospital.
“Earning a place on Newsweek’s list of World’s Best Hospitals 2024 is an example of our dedication to patients and families, who are at the center of all we do,” Gisi said. “These recognitions demonstrate our commitment to improving the health and well-being of our communities by empowering each person to live their best life, through coordinated and specialized care. Our exceptional staff, physicians and clinicians make this possible.” The World’s Best Hospitals 2024 ranking lists the best hospitals in 30 countries: USA, Germany, Japan, France, Italy, United Kingdom, South Korea, Brazil, India, Spain, Canada, Australia, Mexico, Colombia, Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, Switzerland, Taiwan, United Arab Emirates, Austria, Belgium, Chile, Malaysia, Thailand, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Israel, Singapore. The countries were selected based on multiple comparability factors, such as standard of living/life expectancy, population size, number of hospitals and data availability.
