LICENSING AND GLOBAL BOARD OF MEDICAL EXPERTS: Information and Methodology for World’s Best Hospitals Project
Statista’s World’s Best Hospitals Project is back with the 2024 edition, featuring the top hospitals in 30 countries around the globe. The project is supported by the Global Board of Medical Experts, an independent body founded by Statista to ensure the continuous development of the ranking methodology.
The Global Board of Medical Experts consists of renowned professionals with extensive experience in their respective medical fields. They provide guidance and input for the project’s development, including new data sources, methodological considerations, and the implementation of Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) surveys.
This year’s ranking saw some changes, with an increased emphasis on medical key performance indicators and the addition of new national accreditations for South Korea, Malaysia, and Chile. The board of experts also updated the PROMs implementation survey to reflect the latest developments in healthcare.
Scores for each hospital were calculated based on peer recommendations, patient experience, hospital quality metrics, and PROMs implementation. The top hospitals were determined by the number of international recommendations received and their national rank. The global list excludes specialized hospitals and is based on eligibility criteria outlined by the project.
Statista partnered with the International Consortium for Health Outcomes Measurement (ICHOM) for this edition, further enhancing the project’s focus on patient-centered outcomes. ICHOM’s standardized outcome measure sets help healthcare providers deliver care based on what truly matters to patients.
With 2,400 hospitals ranked in this edition, the World’s Best Hospitals Project continues to recognize excellence in healthcare around the world. The rankings serve as a valuable resource for patients and healthcare professionals looking for top-quality medical facilities.
