Thomson Reuters has released its top 100 U.S. hospitals based on overall performance.
The hospitals were ranked on 10 key areas: mortality, medical complications, patient safety, average patient stay, expenses, profitability, patient satisfaction, adherence to clinical standards of care, post-discharge mortality and readmission rates for acute myocardial infarction (heart attack), heart failure and pneumonia.
The study has been conducted annually since 1993.
Thomson Reuters researchers evaluated 2,886 short-term, acute-care, non-federal hospitals. They used public information — Medicare cost reports and Medicare provider analysis and review data, among other sources.
Hospitals do not apply to appear on the list or pay to market a spot on the list.
Here are some of the top honors. Find the full list here.
