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 ranking methodology and the methodology for rating procedures and conditions measure patient outcomes using data from millions of records provided by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. This year, U.S. News incorporated new data on care provided to Medicare Advantage patients and care provided in outpatient settings, along with other methodological improvements, nearly doubling the number of patients included in the annual data analysis. Procedure and condition ratings are based on entirely objective quality measures.
This year's rankings will be published in U.S. News & World Report's “Best Hospitals 2025 Guidebook” (ISBN 979-8-9864591-3-4), available to order through the U.S. News Online Store.
