Newsweek has released their annual ranking of the world’s best hospitals (in collaboration with Statista) and two of Victoria’s hospitals have scored themselves spots on the Canadian-specific list!
These lists are determined by data taken from 2,400 different hospitals across 30 countries, including Chile, Malaysia, most of western Europe, Scandinavia and more.
According to Newsweek, each hospital’s score is based on an online survey of more than 85,000 medical experts and patient surveys on general satisfaction.
Also considered are things like hygiene, patient/doctor ratio and whether hospitals use Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs)—which are standardized questionnaires that patients can complete post-care.
The first hospital from Victoria to make the Canadian list is the Royal Jubilee Hospital in 22nd place with a score of 73.29%.
Next is Victoria General Hospital in 29th place with a score of 72.93%.
The top three best hospitals in Canada are reportedly all located in Toronto and those are the Toronto General – University Health Network, Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre and Mount Sinai Hospital—scoring first, second and third, respectively.
While no one scored 100%, the top hospital scores didn’t drop lower than 85%.
