The magazine’s hospital rankings have been published for more than 30 years, looking at the hospitals in the country “that excel across most or all types of care.” The rankings are published in order to help patients who are looking for specialized care to be able to compare and find the best hospital for their needs.
The national rankings report also ranked hospitals for 17 bellwether procedures and conditions as well as 15 areas of complex specialty care. The hospitals are placed on the national ranking honor roll based on the number of specialties they were nationally ranked in, and whether they were rated as high performing for any of the 17 procedures and conditions considered, according to the report.
