The Best Hospitals Honor Roll highlights 20 hospitals that “excel across most or all types of care evaluated by U.S. News,” according to U.S. News & World Report.

“Hospitals received points if they were nationally ranked in the 15 specialties – the more specialties and the higher their rank, the more points they got – and if they were rated high performing in any of the 20 procedures and conditions. The top point-scorers made the Honor Roll,” according to U.S. News & World Report.

To help readers narrow their search, U.S. News rates hospitals in 20 benchmark procedures and conditions, such as knee replacement, heart bypass surgery and – new this year – gynecological cancer surgery .

U.S. News also ranks hospitals in 15 areas of complex specialty care . These ratings and rankings are based on each hospital’s patient outcomes – that is, how well patients have fared after treatment – as well as other factors that matter to patients, like the quality of their experience and whether the hospital is adequately staffed, according to U.S. News & World Report.
