SickKids ranked ahead of other top hospitals, including Boston Children\u2019s Hospital, which placed No. 2; Children\u2019s Hospital of Philadelphia, No. 3; Ospedale Pediatrico Bambino Ges\u00f9 di Roma in Rome, Italy, No. 4; and Children\u2019s Hospital Los Angeles, No. 5.<\/p>\n
\u201cBeing No. 1 is an extraordinary honour. Achieving No. 1 back-to-back reflects the excellence, dedication and shared purpose that define SickKids every day,\u201d said Dr. Ronald Cohn, president and CEO of SickKids.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis recognition belongs to the staff, trainees, volunteers, donors and community who stand behind our mission and make our work for children and families possible.\u201d<\/p>\n
The ranking, published in partnership with statistics and data company Statista, were based on three specific \u201cdata pillars\u201d: reputation, accreditation and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs).<\/p>\n
PROMs are \u201cstandardized, validated questionnaires completed by patients to assess their perception of their functional well-being and quality of life,\u201d according to Newsweek.<\/p>\n
Several other Canadian pediatric hospitals were included on the list, including BC Children\u2019s Hospital in Vancouver, which ranked ninth, and Alberta Children\u2019s Hospital in Calgary, which ranked No. 15.<\/p>\n
The study also reportedly received guidance from medical experts around the world on the design of the PROMs implementation survey.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen it comes to complex medical conditions, choosing the right hospital can make a critical difference\u2014but a hospital\u2019s overall reputation does not always tell the full story,\u201d the study stated.<\/p>\n
\u201cExpertise can vary significantly from one medical specialty to another, making it difficult for patients, referring physicians and health-care decision-makers to identify where the world\u2019s leading specialized care is found.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SickKids President and CEO Dr. Ronald Cohn says the win is \u2018a testament to the tremendous dedication\u2019 of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":900217,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[712,49,48,84,392],"class_list":["post-900216","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-healthcare","tag-apple-news","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-health","tag-healthcare"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/900216","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=900216"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/900216\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/900217"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=900216"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=900216"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=900216"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
