Statista PROMs implementation survey

To account for the increasing importance of value-based care in healthcare systems worldwide, Statista is surveying hospitals regarding their Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) implementation status. PROMs are defined as standardized, validated questionnaires completed by patients to measure their perception of their functional well-being and quality of life related to an episode or experience of care.

Newsweek and Statista recognize the importance of this topic for global advancements in healthcare delivery and, together with the guidance of Statista’s global board of medical experts, have developed a survey about the implementation and use of PROMs across different specialties and departments in hospitals. The implementation of PROMs adds a patient-outcome focused dimension and improves the comprehensiveness of the rankings.

The current survey period for the PROMs implementation survey is open from September 18, 2024 to November 15, 2024. You can view the survey here. The responses from the survey will be taken into account for all hospital rankings in 2025.

Group 1162

Concept

The list of America’s Best Orthopedic Hospitals is based on four pillars.

(1) From April to May 2024, Statista invited hospital managers and medical professionals with knowledge about orthopedic hospitals to an online survey. The survey was available to medical professionals to participate on Newsweek.com. Additionally, participants were invited via e-mail. Participants were asked to recommend orthopedic hospitals and to rate them in the areas of: provision of care & patients safety, patient education & counseling, overall nurse staffing & technical equipment. Furthermore, participants could recommend the hospital for notable orthopedic treatments. Recommendations for own employer were not allowed.

(2) Hospital quality metrics data relevant to orthopedic care from Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the American Hospital Association annual hospital survey of 2022, and The Joint Commission (TJC) were collected.

(3) Publicly available data from patient surveys was used to analyze the overall patient experience in the hospital.

(4) Additionally, data collected from hospitals from the PROMs Implementation survey were factored in to scorings.
