These are the best hospitals in Illinois, new national ranking says
The list, from Newsweek and Statista , was based on a nationwide, online survey of health care professionals, quality of care metrics, accreditation data and patient satisfaction data, editors said.
It also took into account a PROMs implementation survey - or Patient-Reported Outcome Measures, which are questionnaires completed by patients to "measure their perception of their functional well-being and quality of life related to an episode or experience of care," the report said.
According to the report, the ranking features more than 700 leading hospitals from across the nation. "Hospitals with an outstanding performance in patient experience are additionally recognized with a patient experience award," editors said.
In total, more than 5,000 hospitals were evaluated, and thousands of medical professionals were surveyed, the report added.
In Illinois, the No. 1 hospital on the report was Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, followed by Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago at No. 2, and Northwestern Medicine Central DuPage Hospital in Winfield at No. 3.
