How U.S. News & World Report ranks hospitals

The rankings are broken into two subcomponents for specialty rankings and procedure and condition ratings. The Best Hospitals specialty rankings are meant for patients with life-threatening or rare conditions who need a hospital that excels in treating complex, high-risk cases. 

Hospitals are ranked from 1 to 50 in each specialty. Hospitals not in the top 50 but still in the top 10% of all rated hospitals received a designation of “high performing” on the list.
