Introduction
In these challenging times, hospitals around the world are facing unprecedented stress due to factors such as the COVID-19 pandemic, rising costs, and global financial uncertainty. Despite these challenges, the world’s best hospitals continue to provide exceptional care, conduct groundbreaking research, and drive innovation. One key characteristic that sets these institutions apart is their consistency in delivering outstanding outcomes for patients and advancing medical science year after year. Today, we are proud to present the fifth annual listing of the World’s Best Hospitals 2023, in collaboration with Newsweek and global data firm Statista.
Recognizing Excellence
This year’s ranking assessed over 2,300 hospitals in 28 countries, including Taiwan as a newcomer to the list. For the first time, we have also ranked the top 250 global hospitals. Additionally, we have compiled a country-wise list of the best hospitals, along with a separate list of top specialty hospitals in each country.
To provide a comprehensive evaluation, we incorporated new elements into our scoring model. Hospitals were surveyed regarding their PROMs (Patient-Reported Outcome Measures) implementation status. PROMs involve standardized questionnaires completed by patients to assess their functional well-being and quality of life. We have also included additional hospital quality metrics, such as data from the Israeli National Program for Quality Indicators (INPQ) and the Danish Clinical Quality Program for Denmark. Furthermore, we considered new accreditations for Thailand and Taiwan in our scoring model.
Unveiling the Data
The primary goal of this study is to offer a data-driven comparison of hospital reputation and performance across countries. We believe this information will prove invaluable to patients and families seeking the best care for themselves and their loved ones. It will also serve as a benchmark for hospitals assessing their performance against their peers.
Unfortunately, not every country is included in the ranking. If you are unable to find your country in the list, we encourage you to explore the new Global Hospital Rating by Newsweek and Statista.
