Commitment to patient well-being

The annual Procedures & Conditions ratings are designed to assist patients and their doctors in making informed decisions about where to receive care for challenging health conditions or elective procedures.  

“For 35 years, U.S. News has been a leading resource for patients navigating their health care decisions,” said Ben Harder, chief of health analysis and managing editor at U.S. News. “The ‘High Performing’ designation acknowledges hospitals that consistently deliver high-quality care for specific medical procedures and conditions. This recognition highlights their expertise and commitment to patient well-being.” 

U.S. News evaluated more than 5,000 hospitals across 15 specialties and 21 procedures and conditions. Hospitals awarded a “Best” designation excelled at factors such as clinical outcomes, level of nursing care and patient experience. Among other methodology refinements, this year U.S. News incorporated new data on care provided to patients with Medicare Advantage insurance and on care provided to outpatients. The Procedures & Conditions ratings are based entirely on objective quality measures.
