The U.S. News “Best Hospitals” rankings rely on clinical data and an annual survey of specialists. The rankings 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, compliance with best practices, and patient experience are also considered.
