17.06.2025 Using data to improve quality: Statista launches healthcare unit for quality transparency and data-driven transformation in global healthcare

  • The new 'Statista Healthcare' unit brings together expertise in quality assessment in the healthcare sector and data analytics. Its aim is to promote and facilitate quality improvement and transformation in the healthcare sector worldwide.
  • Besides rankings and ratings, Statista Healthcare provides customized benchmarking projects and data-driven solutions for quality enhancement.
  • Partnerships with renowned organizations such as 'Future of Health' (FOH) and 'International Consortium for Health Outcomes Measurement' (ICHOM) establish Statista Healthcare as a reliable strategic partner for healthcare facilities and quality improvement.

Hamburg, Germany – Statista's expertise in evaluating healthcare providers and its world-renowned proficiency in data analysis and communication have established it as a globally recognized authority in the field. A notable example of this is the ‘World's Best Hospitals’ ranking, conducted in collaboration with Newsweek. Building on its many years of expertise in the healthcare sector, Statista has now established the specialized Statista Healthcare division.

"The new Statista Healthcare division, with its analytical precision and expertise in healthcare, contributes to Statista's overarching mission – to provide sound and actionable data. In this case, for one of the most complex and important industries in the world. This opens up new possibilities and perspectives. For example, quality information will become more accessible and internationally comparable," said Marc Berg, CEO of Statista. "In the future, we want to support healthcare providers and institutions in measuring and comparing their quality and optimizing it in the long term through targeted strategies. This is just the beginning of our ambitions in the healthcare sector. There is more to come," continues Berg.

Individual approaches for measurable quality improvement

Statista Healthcare is committed to driving and shaping innovative change in the healthcare sector. As part of this, the new business unit now provides hospitals, clinics and medical facilities with in-depth, specialized insights and tailored services that directly address their core priorities: quality development, benchmarking and strategic transformation. In addition to the established range of ratings and rankings, Statista Healthcare offers the ‘Custom Quality Development Program’. This supports institutions in improving based on their specific strategic and clinical objectives including benchmarking projects, the design of relevant quality indicators and targeted analyses for quality development. Always based on global standards and in line with the latest developments in the industry.

Two key partnerships already demonstrate Statista Healthcare's role as a pioneer of structured quality improvement. One is the recently announced collaboration with ‘Future of Health’ (FOH), a global community of healthcare leaders. Together with FOH, Statista is developing evidence-based, globally relevant strategies to make innovation and transformation in healthcare measurable. Here, Statista contributes to the non-profit organization's practice-relevant insights and impact measurements. In addition, there is the collaboration with the ‘International Consortium for Health Outcomes Measurement’ (ICHOM). Together, Statista and ICHOM promote the global use of standardized outcome measures for better patient care in more than 42 countries.

The path to greater transparency and comparability

"With Statista Healthcare, we want to help deepen international quality comparisons and transparency in the healthcare sector and promote exchange between stakeholders worldwide. Through data-based comparison formats, individual benchmarking projects and thematic analyses, an environment is gradually being created that will support institutions in learning from each other and driving quality development and data-based transformation in a targeted manner," explained Matthias Hirsch, Vice President of Statista Healthcare.

Statista is thus positioning itself not only as a data supplier and provider of rankings and ratings in the healthcare sector, but also as a long-term and reliable partner for healthcare facilities and institutions in the context of dynamic global change.
