How the world ranking is created
But how is the ranking drawn up? Each hospital’s score is based on an online survey of more than 85,000 medical experts and public data from post-hospitalization surveys on overall patient satisfaction. The score also considers parameters such as hygiene, the doctor-patient relationship, as well as a survey by Statista on hospitals’ use of Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs), which are standardized questionnaires completed by patients to evaluate their experience and results. «The primacy of the Gemelli Polyclinic is a source of great satisfaction for us – comments the President of the Agostino Gemelli IRCCS University Polyclinic Foundation, Carlo Fratta Pasini –. The strength of the Gemelli Polyclinic lies in its history and its mission as a hospital at the service of everyone, which combines cutting-edge care and research, but also the training of doctors and healthcare workers.” «The results of the new Newsweek ranking make us truly proud to be at the helm of this reality of excellence, a non-profit foundation that re-invests all its resources for continuous improvement, and also proud to be an integral part of the healthcare service of the Lazio Region”, he continues Marco Elefanti general director of Gemelli which this year celebrates its first 60 years of activity
