Three Chicago hospitals are among the best hospitals in the world, and at least a dozen suburban hospitals are among the best in the country, a new report from Newsweek says.
According to the magazine's editors, the fifth annual report from Newsweek, released Tuesday, includes analysis from more than 2,300 hospitals across 28 countries, with a scoring system that takes into account patient satisfaction surveys as well as a number of quality treatment metrics including hospital hygiene, patient safety, peer recommendation, the ratio of patients to doctors and nurses, and more.

The result, editors say, is a handful of lists, including a ranking of the "World's Best Hospitals," and "Best Hospital" rankings by country.
On both the "World's Best Hospitals" list and the "Best Hospitals in the US" list, three Chicago hospitals rank high.
On the list of the nation's best hospitals -- which ranks more than 400 medical facilities -- Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago landed the No. 8 spot.
Rush University Medical Center in Chicago came in at No. 18, and the University of Chicago Medical Center came in at No. 23.
Farther down the list, several suburban hospitals earned spots, 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.
