BURLINGTON, MA — Lahey Hospital & Medical Center in Burlington was ranked No. 111 in the new ranking of the best hospitals in the U.S. by Newsweek.

The World's Best Hospitals ranking comes after Newsweek and the data firm Statista evaluated 2,300 hospitals in 80 different countries. Hospitals also were ranked within each country.

According to 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.

Each hospital received a score and its ranking was based on that score. Lahey Hospital & Medical Center scored a 65.47 percent.

Eight hospitals in Massachusetts were ranked among the top 111 in the U.S., including: Massachusetts General in Boston (No.3, 92.27%), Brigham And Women's Hospital in Boston (No. 7, 84.79%), Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston (No. 22, 76.60%), Tufts Medical Center in Boston (No. 41, 70.95%), Brigham And Women's Faulkner Hospital in Boston (No. 51, 70.42%), UMass Memorial Medical Center in Worcester (No. 80, 67.32%), Newton-Wellesley Hospital in Newton (No. 85, 66.94%) and Lahey.
