COLUMBUS, Ohio — Cleveland Clinic was ranked as the No. 2 hospital in the world this year by Newsweek.
For the fifth annual listing of the best hospitals, Newsweek ranked more than 2,300 hospitals in 28 countries.
While Cleveland Clinic ranked second behind Mayo Clinic in Rochester, two other spots in the Ohio city were included in the list of the world’s best. University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center was listed as No. 143 and Cleveland Clinic Fairview Hospital was placed at spot 201 out of 250.
Three Columbus hospitals were included in Newsweek’s list of best U.S. hospitals. The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center was placed at No. 65. Meanwhile, OhioHealth Riverside Methodist Hospital, No. 256, and Grant Medical Center, No. 373, were also named in the list that includes 414 U.S. hospitals.
The scoring for the list comes from four data sources:
- Online surveys of more than 80,000 medical experts from around the world
- Results from publicly available patient experience surveys
- Hospital quality metrics
- Patient reported outcome measures, also known as PROMs, which are completed by the patient to measure their perception of functional well-being and quality of life, according to the Cleveland Clinic.
“The world's best hospitals consistently attract the best people and provide the best outcomes for patients as well as the most important new therapies and research,” said Newsweek Global Editor in Chief Nancy Cooper. “Of all the hospitals in the world, relatively few can do all those things year in and year out. The best belong to a very exclusive club.”
