ContextPrior research has faulted the US News and World Report hospital specialty rankings for excessive reliance on reputation, a subjective measure of a hospital's performance.ObjectiveTo determine whether and to what extent reputation correlates with objective measures of research productivity among cancer hospitals.DesignA retrospective observational study.SettingAutomated search of NIH Reporter, BioEntrez, BioMedline and Clinicaltrials.gov databases.ParticipantsThe 50 highest ranked cancer hospitals in 2013's US News and World Report Rankings.ExposureWe ascertained the number of NCI funded grants, and the cumulative funds received by each cancer center. Additionally, we identified the number of phase I, phase II, and phase III studies published and indexed in MEDLINE, and registered at clinicaltrials.gov. All counts were over the preceding 5 years. For published articles, we summed the impact factor of the journals in which they appeared. Trials were attributed to centers on the basis of the affiliation of the lead author or study principal investigator.Main OutcomeCorrelation coefficients from simple and multiple linear regressions for measures of research productivity and a center's reputation.ResultsAll measures of research productivity demonstrated robust correlation with reputation (mean r-squared  = 0.65, median r-squared = 0.68, minimum r-squared = .41, maximum r-squared = 0.80). A multivariable model showed that 93% of the variation in reputation is explained by objective measures.ConclusionContrary to prior criticism, the majority of reputation, used in US News and World Rankings, can be explained by objective measures of research productivity among cancer hospitals.

HCAHPS Hospital Ratings Survey

Patient Experience Ratings 2018-2020

By Health [source]

About this dataset

This dataset contains ratings of hospitals, based on the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS). This survey collects data from hospital patients on their experiences during an inpatient stay. The list includes several indicators to help gauge a hospital's quality, such as star ratings based on patient opinions and percentage of positive answers to HCAHPS questions. Additionally, there are measures such as the number of completed surveys, survey response rate percent and linear mean value which assist in evaluating patient experience at each medical institution. With this comprehensive dataset you can easily draw comparisons between hospitals and make informed decisions about healthcare services provided in your area

How to use the dataset

This dataset provides useful information on the quality of care that hospitals provide. This dataset provides ratings and reviews of several hospitals, making it easy to compare hospitals in order to find out which hospital may best meet your needs.

The following guide will walk you through how to use this dataset effectively:

• Navigate the different columns available in this dataset by scrolling through the table. These include Hospital Name, Address, City, State, ZIP Code, County Name, Phone Number and HCAHPS Question among others.
• Examine important information such as the patient survey star rating and HCAHPS linear mean value for each hospital included in the dataset in order to evaluate it's performance against other hospitals based on standards set out by HCAHPS .
• Read any footnotes associated with each column carefully in order to fully understand what exactly is being measured. These may directly affect your evaluation of a particular hospital’s performance compared to others included in this dataset or even more so when compared against external sources of data outside this dataset such as other surveys or studies related to health care quality measurement metrics within that state or region where applicable & relevant (i..e Measure Start Date and Measure End Date).

• Pay careful attention also when evaluating factors related to survey response rates (e..g Survey Response Rate Percent Footnote) & what percentages are being reported here within each category; these figures may selectively bias results so ensure full transparency is achieved by reviewing all potential influencing factors/variables prior commencing investigations/data analysis/interpretation based upon this data-set alone(or any subset thereof).

  By following these steps you should be able set up your own criteria for measuring various aspects of health care quality across different states & cities - ensuring optimal access & safety measures for both patients & healthcare providers alike over time - thus ultimately aiding decision making processes towards improved patient outcomes worldwide!

Research Ideas

• Tracking patient experience trends over time: This dataset can be used to analyze trends in patient experience over time by identifying changes in survey responses, star ratings, and response rates across hospitals.
• Establishing a benchmark for high-quality hospital care: By studying the scores of the top-performing hospitals within each category, healthcare administrators can set standards and benchmarks for quality of care in their own hospitals.
• Comparing hospital ratings to inform decision making: Patients and family members looking to book an appointment at a hospital or doctors office can use this dataset to compare different facilities’ HCAHPS scores and make an informed decision about where they would like to go for their medical treatment

In 2023, Singapore dominated the ranking of the world's health and health systems, followed by Japan and South Korea. The health index score is calculated by evaluating various indicators that assess the health of the population, and access to the services required to sustain good health, including health outcomes, health systems, sickness and risk factors, and mortality rates. The health and health system index score of the top ten countries with the best healthcare system in the world ranged between 82 and 86.9, measured on a scale of zero to 100.

Global Health Security Index  Numerous health and health system indexes have been developed to assess various attributes and aspects of a nation's healthcare system. One such measure is the Global Health Security (GHS) index. This index evaluates the ability of 195 nations to identify, assess, and mitigate biological hazards in addition to political and socioeconomic concerns, the quality of their healthcare systems, and their compliance with international finance and standards. In 2021, the United States was ranked at the top of the GHS index, but due to multiple reasons, the U.S. government failed to effectively manage the COVID-19 pandemic. The GHS Index evaluates capability and identifies preparation gaps; nevertheless, it cannot predict a nation's resource allocation in case of a public health emergency.

Universal Health Coverage Index  Another health index that is used globally by the members of the United Nations (UN) is the universal health care (UHC) service coverage index. The UHC index monitors the country's progress related to the sustainable developmental goal (SDG) number three. The UHC service coverage index tracks 14 indicators related to reproductive, maternal, newborn, and child health, infectious diseases, non-communicable diseases, service capacity, and access to care. The main target of universal health coverage is to ensure that no one is denied access to essential medical services due to financial hardships. In 2021, the UHC index scores ranged from as low as 21 to a high score of 91 across 194 countries.

The SCImago Institutions Rankings (SIR) is a classification of academic and research-related institutions ranked by a composite indicator that combines three different sets of indicators based on research performance, innovation outputs and societal impact measured by their web visibility. It provides a friendly interface that allows the visualization of any customized ranking from the combination of these three sets of indicators. Additionally, it is possible to compare the trends for individual indicators of up to six institutions. For each large sector it is also possible to obtain distribution charts of the different indicators. For comparative purposes, the value of the composite indicator has been set on a scale of 0 to 100. However the line graphs and bar graphs always represent ranks (lower is better, so the highest values are the worst).
