“For most Americans, health care decisions are made close to home. The Best Regional Hospitals rankings underscore the difference high-performing local medical centers make,” Ben Harder, chief of health analysis and managing editor at U.S. News, said in the release. “These local hospital rankings, entirely performance-driven, equip individuals and their families, in consultation with their medical providers, to choose the highest quality care available in their own communities.”
According to U.S. News, these rankings include multiple new data refinements like using weight-based composite scoring and evaluating the risk-adjusted survival rates of both Medicare Advantage and traditional Medicare beneficiaries.
Additionally, two new cohorts were added to the Best Hospitals’ Procedures and Conditions ratings methodology — heart arrhythmia and pacemaker implantation — for a total of 22 ratings.
