The lists are based on four data sources:
1. Online Survey: Newsweek and Statista invited tens of thousands of medical experts (doctors, hospital managers, and health care professionals) in 30 countries to participate in an online survey. Participants were asked to recommend hospitals in their own country as well as in other countries. Recommendations for own employer/hospital were not allowed.
2. Patient Satisfaction: Results from patient experience surveys were incorporated into the scoring model. Publicly available data from existing patient surveys was used to analyze patient experience. Patient surveys are typically conducted by insurance companies among patients after hospitalization. Examples of survey topics include general satisfaction with the hospital, recommendation of the hospital, and satisfaction with medical care.
3. Hospital Quality Metrics: Quality metrics from a variety of public sources were collected for most countries. Quality metrics differ between countries. Examples of incorporated data include metrics on the quality of care for specific treatments, hygiene measures, and the number of patients per doctor or nurse.
4. PROMs Implementation Survey: For the third time, a PROMs implementation score has been included in the scoring model of the World's Best Hospitals project. In the fall and winter of 2024, Newsweek and Statista reached out to hospitals and conducted a survey about the implementation and use of PROMs.
