Fewer than half of the thousands of hospitals evaluated earned a 'High Performing' designation in the types of care evaluated by U.S. News.
U.S. News’ annual Procedures & Conditions ratings are designed to assist patients and their health care providers in making informed decisions about where to receive care for challenging health conditions or elective procedures.
“Earning top marks from U.S. News & World Report in seven distinct clinical areas is a testament to what we can achieve when we work TOGETHER with a shared commitment to excellence,” said Michael Mutterer, President and CEO of Silver Cross Hospital. “These recognitions reflect the skill, compassion and dedication of our physicians and surgeons, advanced practice providers, nurses, therapists, clinical and non-clinical support teams, and volunteers, all united in delivering exceptional care for the patients and communities we serve close to home.”
Silver Cross also earned high marks for patient experience.
“When patients face a major surgery or a chronic medical condition, having access to clear, quality data is vital,” said U.S. News’ Managing Editor and Chief of Health Analysis Ben Harder. “A ‘High Performing’ rating means that Silver Cross Hospital outperformed a national threshold, giving families a reliable starting point as they consult with their doctors to choose the best place for care.”
U.S. News evaluated nearly 4,500 hospitals across 14 adult specialties and 23 procedures and conditions; less than half earned recognition in any of those 37 areas of care. To determine the Best Hospitals, U.S. News analyzed each hospital’s performance based on objective measures such as risk-adjusted mortality rates, preventable complications and patient experience. The Best Hospitals Specialty rankings methodology and Procedures & Conditions ratings methodology measure patient outcomes using data from over 800 million records of patient care.
