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.

methodology
How we work
Scoring
The scoring model is based on 3 pillars:
- hospital recommendations from medical experts,
- the voluntary Statista Smart Hospitals Maturity Survey,
- and accreditation data.
Concept
For the list of World’s Best Specialized Hospitals, the following was taken into consideration:
(1) From May to July 2024, Statista invited hospital managers and medical professionals with knowledge about smart 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 notable smart hospitals. International recommendations were weighted higher than national recommendations for each hospital. Furthermore, participants could name a standout category: Artificial intelligence, digital imaging, electronic functionalities, robotics, telemedicine, and virtualization. Recommendations for own employer were not allowed. Additionally, recommendation data from last year’s cycle was included.
(2) Hospitals were invited to participate in the Statista Smart Hospitals Maturity Survey to assess the implementation and usage of smart technologies in the hospital. The survey was structured around 10 topics (e.g., electronic functionalities, telemedicine, artificial intelligence, robotics).
(3) Furthermore, data from The Joint Commission International (JCI) hospital accreditation was included in the scoring model. For healthcare organizations from the United States, the accreditation from the Joint Commission (TJC) was used as an equivalent.
Evaluation
For the evaluation, Statista R applies a scoring model. Scores were calculated for each hospital in each of the three categories and weighted accordingly: Peer recommendations (82.5%: 72.5% from current cycle; 10% from last year’s cycle), Statista Smart Hospitals Maturity Survey (15%), and JCI Accreditation (2.5%).
Quality assurance
Desk research was performed for every nominated hospital as a validation of the hospital’s achievements.
