I live in Boston so I've been to my fair share of hospitals. Here is my take on them from a patients perspective. Plus my priorities are slightly different from the normal patients.
I'm rating hospitals on a 10 point scale.
1. The waiting room - is it clean, good magazines, scary homeless people?
2. The waiting time - how long your going to wait to see a doctor once you get there
3. The thoroughness of the staff - do they ask all the important questions, get blood work quickly, etc.
4. Pain Relief - How long does it take from when you get a bed to when you get relief for your pain
5. Nurses - Are they approachable, attentive, able to get the iv in easily, take your questions to the doctors
6. Doctors - Do they listen to you, get your full history, give you a say in treatment, have multiple theories, take you seriously
7. Overall experience at the hospital
