Three Chicago hospitals are among the best in the world, and at least a dozen suburban hospitals are among the best in the country, according to a new report from Newsweek.
According to the magazine’s editors, the fifth annual report from Newsweek, released Tuesday, includes analyzes from more than 2,300 hospitals in 28 countries, with a scoring system that takes into account patient satisfaction surveys as well as a variety of quality of care metrics, including hospital hygiene, patient safety, colleague recommendation, the relationship between patients and doctors and nurses, and more.

The result, the editors say, is a handful of lists, including a ranking of the “World’s Best Hospitals” and “Best Hospitals” rankings by country.
In both the “World’s Best Hospitals” list and the “Best Hospitals in the US” list, three Chicago hospitals rank highly.
On the list of the nation’s best hospitals — which ranks more than 400 medical facilities — Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago came in at No. 8.
Rush University Medical Center in Chicago came in at No. 18, and the University of Chicago Medical Center came in at No. 23.
Further down the list, several suburban hospitals made the cut, including Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital in Downers Grove at No. 69, Advocate Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge at No. 102 and Evanston Hospital at No. 178.
