The magazine publishes its Best Hospitals to help guide patients who need a high level of care when facing particularly difficult surgeries, challenging conditions or added risk because of other health problems or age. Objective measures such as patient survival and safety data, the adequacy of nurse-staffing levels and other data largely determined the rankings in most specialties.
The specialty rankings and data were produced for U.S. News by RTI International, a leading research organization based in Research Triangle Park, N.C. Using the same data, U.S. News produced the state and metro rankings.
