The Medical Center - University of Freiburg is now the fourth best hospital in Germany and the best in Baden-Württemberg: this is the result of a ranking commissioned by Focus magazine and published on Monday, October 17, 2022 as part of the Focus Clinic List 2023. "This top position is only possible because our 15,000 employees give their best every day. My special thanks go to them," says Prof. Dr. Frederik Wenz, Chief Medical Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Medical Center - University of Freiburg. "The very good ranking reflects our aspiration to provide every patient with quality-centered, cutting-edge university medicine. A central aspect of this is to consistently drive forward digitalization."

Data from all 1,659 public hospitals in Germany and their affiliated 14,346 specialist clinics were evaluated. Information on the frequency of certain procedures, the services offered and the technical equipment was taken from the facilities' quality reports. The number of staff in relation to the number of patients and participation in quality initiatives were also taken into account. In addition to the facilities' public quality reports, extensive questionnaires were collected from the facilities. Patient satisfaction and recommendations from physicians in private practice and other hospitals were also included in the assessment.
