In 2023, Singapore ranked first with a health index score of ****, followed by Japan and South Korea. The health index measures the extent to which people are healthy and have access to the necessary services to maintain good health, including health outcomes, health systems, illness and risk factors, and mortality rates. The statistic shows the health and health systems ranking of countries worldwide in 2023, by their health index score.

As of 2023, Kaiser Permanente, based in Oakland, California, was the largest health system in the United States when ranked by the number of physicians affiliated with the system. It had nearly 26 thousand physicians affiliated with the organization. Meanwhile, the Hospital Corporation of America, based in Nashville, Tennessee, was in second place when ranked by the number of physicians, but was the largest health system in the United States when ranked by the number of hospitals. HCA Healthcare is also the largest U.S. health system when ranked by the number of beds and, as expected, by net patient revenue.

According to a 2021 health care systems ranking among selected high-income countries, the United States came last in the overall ranking of its health care system performance. The overall ranking was based on five performance categories, including access to care, care process, administrative efficiency, equity, and health care outcomes. For the category administrative efficiency, which measures the amount of paperwork for providers and patients in the health system, the U.S. was ranked last, while Norway took first place. This could be because the health system in the U.S. is a multi-payer system, while Norway has a single-payer system, which most likely simplifies documentation and billing tasks. This statistic present the health care administrative efficiency rankings of the United States' health care system compared to ten other high-income countries in 2021.

As of February 2025, the Hospital Corporation of America, based in Nashville, Tennessee, was the largest health system in the United States, with a total of 222 hospitals. HCA Healthcare is also the largest U.S. health system when ranked by the number of beds and, as expected, by net patient revenue.Hospitals in the United StatesCurrently, there are approximately 6,120 hospitals in the United States. Looking over the past decades, this figure was constantly decreasing. For example, there were nearly 7,000 hospitals in 1980. There are some 5.3 million persons employed in U.S. hospitals in full-time. Contrary to the decrease in the number of hospitals, employment has been increasing steadily. According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, U.S. hospitals generate a total gross output of around 1,075 billion U.S. dollars. The largest portion of U.S. hospitals are non-profit facilities. A smaller share includes private-owned for-profit hospitals. In most cases, these hospitals are part of hospital chains. For-profit hospitals developed especially in the 1990s, with the aim to gain profit for their shareholders. The Hospital Corporation of America, based in Nashville, Tennessee, is the U.S. for-profit hospital operator with the highest number of hospitals.

The healthcare ranking reflects the quality of health care and access to health services in different countries. The assessment includes various factors such as life expectancy, access to medical services, healthcare funding, and technologies.

AdventHealth Orlando in Florida stands as the largest hospital in the United States, boasting an impressive 2,247 beds as of August 2024. This expansive facility exemplifies the scale of modern healthcare infrastructure, with Jackson Memorial Hospital, also in Florida, following as the second-largest. Evolving landscape of U.S. hospitals Despite the decline in the total number of hospitals since 1980, the healthcare sector continues to grow in other ways. U.S. hospitals now employ about 7.5 million workers and generate a gross output of around 1,161 billion U.S. dollars. The Hospital Corporation of America, based in Nashville, Tennessee, leads the pack as the largest health system in the country, operating 222 hospitals as of February 2025. This reflects a trend towards consolidation and the rise of for-profit hospital chains, which gained prominence in the 1990s. Specialization and emergency care While bed count is one measure of hospital size, institutions also distinguish themselves through specialization and emergency care capabilities. For instance, the University of California at Los Angeles Medical Center performed 22,287 organ transplants between January 1988 and March 2025, making it the leading transplant center in the nation. In terms of emergency care, Parkland Health and Hospital System in Dallas recorded the highest number of emergency department visits in 2022, with 226,178 patients seeking urgent care.

Public reporting of measures of hospital performance is an important component of quality improvement efforts in many countries. However, it can be challenging to provide an overall characterization of hospital performance because there are many measures of quality. In the United States, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services reports over 100 measures that describe various domains of hospital quality, such as outcomes, the patient experience and whether established processes of care are followed. Although individual quality measures provide important insight, it is challenging to understand hospital performance as characterized by multiple quality measures. Accordingly, we developed a novel approach for characterizing hospital performance that highlights the similarities and differences between hospitals and identifies common patterns of hospital performance. Specifically, we built a semi-supervised machine learning algorithm and applied it to the publicly-available quality measures for 1,614 U.S. hospitals to graphically and quantitatively characterize hospital performance. In the resulting visualization, the varying density of hospitals demonstrates that there are key clusters of hospitals that share specific performance profiles, while there are other performance profiles that are rare. Several popular hospital rating systems aggregate some of the quality measures included in our study to produce a composite score; however, hospitals that were top-ranked by such systems were scattered across our visualization, indicating that these top-ranked hospitals actually excel in many different ways. Our application of a novel graph analytics method to data describing U.S. hospitals revealed nuanced differences in performance that are obscured in existing hospital rating systems.

In 2023, the health care system in Finland ranked first with a care index score of ****, followed by Belgium and Japan. Care systems index score is measured using multiple indicators from various public databases, it evaluates the capacity of a health system to treat and cure diseases and illnesses, once it is detected in the population This statistic shows the care systems ranking of countries worldwide in 2023, by their index score.

Despite the fact that remote services were successfully implemented in most European social and health systems before 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has led to an unprecedented development of health and social care services provided in this form. This paper compares the readiness of patients to use the digital solutions in healthcare systems implemented in EU countries, in response to the current pandemic situation. In the study, technological, health insurance, and demographic variables were selected on the basis of substantive criteria. Next, the linear ordering method was applied to make a ranking of the analyzed countries according to the level of patients' readiness to use digital healthcare services. The main findings show that the Netherlands and Ireland are characterized by the highest level of patients' readiness for using remote healthcare services. On the other hand, Romania and Bulgaria are among the countries with the lowest readiness. The study also made it possible to group European countries according to the level of patients' preparedness.

BackgroundAccess to highly specialized health care services and support to meet the patient’s specific needs is critical for health outcome, especially during age-related transitions within the health care system such as with adolescents entering adult medicine. Being affected by an orphan disease complicates the situation in several important respects. Long distances to dedicated institutions and scarcity of knowledge, even among medical doctors, may present major obstacles for proper access to health care services and health chances. This study is part of the BMBF funded TransCareO project examining in a mixed-method design health care provisional deficits, preferences, and barriers in health care access as perceived by female adolescents affected by the Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome (MRKHS), a rare (orphan) genital malformation.MethodsPrior to a communicative validation workshop, critical elements of MRKHS related care and support (items) were identified in interviews with MRKHS patients. During the subsequent workshop, 87 persons involved in health care and support for MRKHS were asked to rate the items using a 7-point Likert scale (7, strongly agree; 1, strongly disagree) as to 1) the elements’ potential importance (i.e., health care expected to be “best practice”, or priority) and 2) the presently experienced care. A gap score between the two was computed highlighting fields of action. Items were arranged into ten separate questionnaires representing domains of care and support (e.g., online-portal, patient participation). Within each domain, several items addressed various aspects of “information” and “access”. Here, we present the outcome of items’ evaluation by patients (attended, NPAT = 35; respondents, NRESP = 19).ResultsHighest priority scores occurred for domains “Online-Portal”, “Patient participation”, and “Tailored informational offers”, characterizing them as extremely important for the perception as best practice. Highest gap scores yielded domains “Tailored informational offers”, reflecting perceived lack of disease-related information for affected persons, medical experts, and health insurance companies, “Online-Portal” (with limited information available on specialist clinics and specialized doctors), and regarding insufficient support offers (e.g., in school and occupational settings). Conversely, lowest gap scores were found with group offers for MRKHS patients (“Transition programs”) and MRKHS self-help days (“Patient participation”), suggesting satisfaction or good solutions in place.DiscussionThe importance assigned to disease-related information indicates that informational deficits are perceived by patients as barriers, hindering proper access to health care, especially in an orphan disease. Access to health-related information plays a role for all persons seeking help and care. However, the overwhelmingly high scores attributed to these elements in the context of an orphan disease reveal that here improved information policies are crucial, demanding for institutionalized solutions supported by the health care system.Implications for practiceThe disparity between experience of care and attribution as best practice detected describes areas of action in all domains involved, highlighting information related fields. New concepts and structures for health care in orphan diseases could draw upon these patient-oriented results a) regarding orphan-disease specific elements demanding institutionalized reimbursement, b) essential elements for center care and corresponding networks, and c) elements reflecting patients´ participation in the conception of centers for rare diseases.

Abstract

The Nigerian Government has prioritized improving the quality of healthcare delivery throughout its care facilities. There are multiple facets to implementing successful quality improvement processes, including providing a transparent system with quantifiable outcome measures and ensuring workforce engagement for healthcare providers.

The government project team contracted a healthcare management consulting firm to provide support to 80 primary healthcare facilities in six Nigerian states to meet international healthcare standards. The IE was designed to measure the effectiveness of two different levels of consulting services on healthcare quality outcomes:

• Treatment A consisted of the "full package" of consulting services, including an initial extensive quality assessment, action plans, and continuous feedback and support.
• Treatment B was "information only". The consulting firm conducted the baseline quality assessment and provided initial feedback in the form of a report on these indicators, which was presented to center staff. Treatment B did not provide hands-on tutelage throughout the quality improvement process.

Geographic coverage

Six Nigerian states: Anambra, Bauchi, Cross River, Ekiti, Kebbi and Niger.

Analysis unit

• Primary Health Care Facilities
• Patients
• Primary Health Care Facility Health Workers.

Sampling procedure

The sampling frame for this impact evaluation consists of all 80 PHCs in the 6 states that are being covered by the project.

RANDOMIZATION Randomization of PHCs into Treatment A, Treatment B, and control followed these steps: 1. We assigned a random number to each of the 80 PHCs in our population. 2. These numbers were ranked in ascending order. 3. We ranked these numbers within each cluster (of 4 PHCs around a referral hospital). 4. The PHC with the highest random number in each was assigned to Treatment A, the second highest number was assigned to Treatment B, and the third highest number was assigned to the control group. This created groups of 20 for each treatment arm. 5. Lastly, the 20 PHCs with the fourth highest numbers were ranked again. Then, the 4 highest numbers were allocated to Treatment A, numbers 5-8 went to Treatment B, and the rest was assigned to the control group.

This resulted in the following group sizes: - Treatment A: 24 - Treatment B: 24 - Control group: 32

Mode of data collection

Face-to-face [f2f]

Research instrument

As data sources, the IE will use a combination of PHC administrative data, facility level survey data, the tools developed by the healthcare consulting firm, the SDI and SURE-P surveys, as well as additional instruments to assess the quality of care.

Response rate

Out of 80 primary healthcare facilities, the response rates for: - round 1: 100% - round 2: 100% - round 3: 100% - round 4: 100% - round 5: 89% - round 6: 100% - round 7: 100%

Quality of life is a measure of comfort, health, and happiness by a person or a group of people. Quality of life is determined by both material factors, such as income and housing, and broader considerations like health, education, and freedom. Each year, US & World News releases its “Best States to Live in” report, which ranks states on the quality of life each state provides its residents. In order to determine rankings, U.S. News & World Report considers a wide range of factors, including healthcare, education, economy, infrastructure, opportunity, fiscal stability, crime and corrections, and the natural environment. More information on these categories and what is measured in each can be found below:

Healthcare includes access, quality, and affordability of healthcare, as well as health measurements, such as obesity rates and rates of smoking. Education measures how well public schools perform in terms of testing and graduation rates, as well as tuition costs associated with higher education and college debt load. Economy looks at GDP growth, migration to the state, and new business. Infrastructure includes transportation availability, road quality, communications, and internet access. Opportunity includes poverty rates, cost of living, housing costs and gender and racial equality. Fiscal Stability considers the health of the government's finances, including how well the state balances its budget. Crime and Corrections ranks a state’s public safety and measures prison systems and their populations. Natural Environment looks at the quality of air and water and exposure to pollution.

Home care providers support the overall health and well-being of millions in the US annually. This number has been growing fast, expanding the scale and scope of home care providers in recent years. A rising number of adults 65 and older has been the primary driver behind this, as older adults are at a higher risk of developing a condition or experiencing an injury that limits their ability to perform tasks they once did independently. While changing demographic trends are an overarching trend impacting the health sector, the pandemic has permanently altered the industry's trajectory. Widespread outbreaks at residential facilities in the first year of the pandemic led more people to value remaining in their homes as they age; the interest in aging-in-place has only grown even as pandemic concerns have dissipated, as older adults look for options that provide safety and independence. In all, revenue has been expanding at a CAGR of 3.7% to an estimated $155.9 billion over the past five years, including expected growth of 3.2% in 2025. The mounting need for home care services and a shortage of home health aides create a mismatch between supply and demand that limits revenue growth. Shortages, preexisting the pandemic, have worsened as caregivers seek more flexible jobs with higher pay, creating increasingly high turnover that pressures providers to raise wages. Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements to home health agencies have been declining for several years, preventing home health agencies from raising salaries despite shortages. Clients eligible for home care services through insurance face long waits, leading more people to opt for self-directed care, where family members or friends work as caregivers. Too few caregivers prevent the industry from fully benefiting from rising demand and curtail profit growth. Trends driving growth in recent years will continue, providing various opportunities for home care providers. How home care providers capitalize on these trends will depend on insurer reimbursements and workforce development. Technology, ranging from wearables to telehealth, will have a more prominent role in the industry as providers look for ways to improve patient care while lessening the burden on staff. Regulatory and financial pressures will maintain consolidation activity, with private equity investment likely to expand. A significant headwind facing the industry will be the future of Medicare policies, the extent to which they cover home health and how states will react to Medicaid cuts in the Trump Administration's Big Beautiful Bill. Revenue will grow at a CAGR of 2.9% to an estimated $179.8 billion over the next five years.
