Doylestown Hospital is ranked first among Bucks County hospitals, eighth in Pennsylvania, and 126th in the United States in Newsweek’s 2024 World’s Best Hospitals annual listing.
This is the sixth year in a row Doylestown Hospital was recognized by Newsweek in the list.
Doylestown Hospital is one of only 26 hospitals in the state to be recognized and has received the extra distinction for being a leader in both infection prevention and patient experience.
The World’s Best Hospitals 2024 ranking lists the best hospitals in 30 countries. 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. The awards list can be viewed at Newsweek’s World’s Best Hospitals 2024.
