Why We Rate & Rank Hospitals?
Before we get into the semantics of how we rate and rank hospitals, it's important we address why we have a rating system for hospitals, specialties and procedures.
We understand that making a healthcare decision for you or your family is a personal, financial and emotional one. We have over 900K users use our app every month to either consult a doctor, find a hospital or read similar experiences and seek advise. The prospect of surgery or special care places significantly heightened risk because of several conditions. These ratings are a tool to help the decisions makers, families make the right choice in finding the care that's most suitable for them.
We try to be as objective as possible scrutinising the authenticity and objectivity of reviews.
Hospital rankings comprise two parts:
Specialty scorecard
Patient Experience scorecard
Understanding which is more relevant to you depends on the medical condition for which you’re seeking hospital quality information.The Best Hospitals specialty rankings are meant for patients with life-threatening or rare conditions who need a hospital that excels in treating complex, high-risk cases. These rankings are helpful if you’re looking for information about a rare condition or difficult diagnosis that isn’t treated at many facilities.
