The U.S. News “Best Hospitals” rankings rely on clinical data and an annual survey of specialists. The ranking methodology factors in objective measures such as risk-adjusted survival, discharge-to-home rates, patient volume and nursing quality. In addition, patient outcomes, clinical services and processes, and compliance with best practices are considered. The entire national listing is available online at www.usnews.com/best-hospitals.
