13 MI Hospitals Among Best In U.S., Newsweek Says In New Ranking

MICHIGAN — Michigan has 13 of the nation's best hospitals, Newsweek said in its 2023 list of the World’s Best Hospitals.

Newsweek partnered with data firm Statista to release the fifth year of this list, which ranked 2,300 hospitals in 80 countries. The hospitals on the list are not only innovative and offer first-class care, but also “consistently attract the best people and provide the best outcomes for patients as well as the most important new therapies and research,” said Newsweek.

A global board of medical experts compiled the list based on four data sources: an online survey from medical experts, results from patient surveys, hospital quality metrics, and a PROM (patient-reported outcome measures) implementation survey.

Nancy Cooper, global editor-in-chief for Newsweek, said the goal of the study was to provide a data-based comparison of hospital reputations and performances across counties.

"We hope this will be useful to patients and families seeking the best care for themselves and loved ones, as well as to hospitals as they benchmark themselves against their peers," Cooper said.

Each hospital is rated by a score; read more about the methodology here.
