The countries were selected based on multiple comparability factors, such as standard of living/life expectancy, population size, number of hospitals, and data availability. Major changes were made in this year’s edition. A global board of renowned experts supports the continuous development of the methodology.
The lists are based on four data sources:
- 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.
