These 9 hospitals in NJ are better than the rest, new list says

Nine hospitals in New Jersey are included in Newsweek's first-ever list of the best hospitals on a state-by-state basis.

In total, 600 facilities across the country are included in the inaugural rankings that were released on Wednesday.

The analysis used four data sources to come up with its score for every hospital and determine which facilities make the cut.

How they determined the best hospitals in NJ

Pulling most of the weight in the scoring is a nationwide online survey. Tens of thousands of medical professionals were asked to recommend the best hospitals based on their expertise, and recommendations for their own employer/hospital were not allowed.

Newsweek also looked at publicly available patient surveys and hospital quality metrics from Medicare and Medicaid Services. In addition, Newsweek and Statista conducted their own survey to see whether Patient Reported Outcome Measures data collected by health systems were implemented by hospitals to optimize care.

Below is a list of the nine New Jersey hospitals to be considered "best-in-state" by Newsweek, along with their score (out of 100%).
