15 MA Hospitals Ranked Among Best In Nation: Newsweek

BOSTON, MA — Some of the nation's top hospitals are located in Massachusetts, according to a new ranking of the best hospitals in the U.S. by Newsweek.

The ranking comes after Newsweek and the data firm Statista evaluated 2,300 hospitals in 80 different countries. On a global scale, Mass General and Brigham and Women's Hospital were ranked among the top 20.

The hospitals on the list “consistently attract the best people and provide the best outcomes for patients as well as the most important new therapies and research,” Newsweek said. 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.

Hospitals like Mass General, Tufts Medical Center and Beth Israel are consistently ranked among the best in the nation by other publications like U.S. News & World Report and Money Magazine. The Newsweek list also gave high marks to hospitals outside Boston, like UMass Memorial in Worcester, which is linked to the UMass Chan Medical School.

Here's where Massachusetts hospitals ranked on the list overall, and the overall score for each one:

• 3. Massachusetts General Hospital 92.27%, Boston
• 7. Brigham And Women's Hospital 84.79% Boston
• 22. Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center 76.60%, Boston
