Nearly 5,000 hospitals had been evaluated based on performance on objective measures such as risk-adjusted mortality rates, preventable complications and level of nursing care.
The final rankings list the top hospitals in 15 medical specialties, including cancer, cardiology, diabetes and endocrinology, gastroenterology and GI surgery, orthopedics and urology.
“Choosing the right hospital to match your needs shouldn't be a guessing game,” Ben Harder, chief of health analysis and managing editor at U.S. News & World Report, said in a press release. “The 2024-2025 edition of Best Hospitals provides patients and their families clear, data-driven insights on hospital performance and empowers Americans to choose the facility best suited to their specific health care needs.”
