In this edition, for the first time, the MRS also involved the most prestigious hospitals in each Autonomous Community, distinguishing the leading centres in the different Spanish regions in each of the clinical services. In this respect, the Hospital Clínic stands out in 15 of the 25 services evaluated, as the hospital with the best reputation in Catalonia. In terms of national reputation, once again it was ranked in second place, after the La Paz University Hospital in Madrid.
The 8th Healthcare Reputation Monitor is an independent study based on data from the hospitals themselves, from the Spanish Ministry of Health, and the autonomous communities’ health departments. The data for this edition were obtained through over 6,526 surveys of doctors, nurses, patient associations, health journalists, hospital managers, nursing managers, members of the public health administration, hospital pharmacy managers, and pharmaceutical company directors. In addition, over 3,010 objective indicators of 2,912 clinical services were evaluated.
