Newsweek Again Names Brookings Health To World’s Best Hospitals
For the third consecutive year, Brookings Health System was named to Newsweek’s list of World’s Best Hospitals. This prestigious award is presented by Newsweek and Statista Inc., the world-leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider. The awards list can currently be viewed on Newsweek’s website.
“Unsolicited recognitions such as this validates our team’s dedication to patient safety and satisfaction,” said President and CEO Jason Merkley. “To be on the same list as such renown health systems as Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic and The Johns Hopkins Hospital when you’re an independent rural health system like us, demonstrates that our team continually innovates, attracts the best people and excels at all aspects of service and quality.”
Brookings Health ranks 229 of the Best Hospitals 2023 in the United States, up 25 spots from last year’s ranking. Newsweek and Statista developed a complex methodology to ensure the quality and validity of the ranking. Four data sources were used for the evaluation:
Hospital recommendations from Medical Experts: an international online survey sent to more than 80,000 doctors, hospital managers and health care professionals
Patient Experience: survey of patient satisfaction with hospitalization
Patient Reported Outcome Measures: surveys measuring patient satisfaction with hospitals
Hospital Quality Metrics: patient safety, hygiene measures, waiting times and quality of treatment
The World's Best Hospitals 2023 list recognizes the best medical institutions across 28 countries: USA, Germany, Japan, South Korea, France, Italy, United Kingdom, Spain, Brazil, Canada, India, Australia, Mexico, The Netherlands, Austria, Thailand, Switzerland, Sweden, Belgium, Finland, Norway, Denmark, Israel, Singapore, United Arab Emirates, Colombia, Saudi Arabia, and Taiwan.
