As part of the Best Hospitals rankings and ratings, U.S. News evaluated more than 4,000 hospitals for their handling of two chronic conditions — chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and heart failure — and up to eight medical procedures: colon cancer surgery, lung cancer surgery, heart bypass surgery, aortic valve surgery, transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), abdominal aortic aneurysm repair, knee replacement and hip replacement. In each procedure and condition in which a hospital had treated enough patients to be evaluated, the hospital received a rating of high performing, average or below average. The ratings are designed to help patients and health care consumers make informed decisions about where to receive care for specific medical needs.
About a third of the evaluated hospitals earned at least one top rating of “high performing.” But only the 37 standouts listed below, less than 1% of the hospitals evaluated, got the top rating in all 10 procedures and conditions. Fourteen of these hospitals also made the Honor Roll of Best Hospitals.
