To calculate the Best Hospitals rankings, U.S. News evaluated
each hospital's performance on objective measures such as
risk-adjusted mortality rates, preventable complications and level
of nursing care. The Best Hospitals Specialty rankings methodology
and Procedures & Conditions ratings methodology measure patient
outcomes using data from millions of records provided by the
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. This year, among
other methodology refinements, U.S. News incorporated new data on
care provided to patients with Medicare Advantage insurance and on
care provided to outpatients, nearly doubling the number of
patients included in its annual data analysis. The Procedures &
Conditions ratings are based entirely on objective quality
measures.
