Methodology used to rank hospitals

U.S. News evaluates 15 specialty areas of care. In 12 of the specialty areas, rankings are derived from data sources, such as Medicare. "The rankings are a tool that can help these patients and their families find sources of skilled inpatient care." The specialties are:

• Cancer
• Cardiology, heart & vascular surgery
• Diabetes & endocrinology
• Ear, nose & throat
• Gastroenterology & GI surgery
• Geriatrics
• Obstetrics and gynecology
• Neurology and neurosurgery
• Orthopedics
• Pulmonology & lung surgery
• Rehabilitation
• Urology

In the remaining three specialties — ophthalmology, psychiatry and rheumatology — "ranking is determined entirely by expert opinion, based on responses from three years of surveys of physician specialists who were asked to name the hospitals to which they would be inclined to refer their sickest patients," according to U.S. News.
