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 and Medicaid Services.  

This year, among other methodology refinements, U.S. News incorporated new data on care provided to patients with Medicare Advantage insurance and care provided to outpatients, nearly doubling the number of patients included in its annual data analysis.
