What It Is: Healthgrades ranks the top 250 hospitals in the country categorizing them into 3 different tiers - top 250, top 100 and top 50.

Why It Matters To You: The ranking system is categorized by state and offers a rough comparison to other hospitals, identifying the top 1% and top 2% tiers.

Considerations: This ranking system is based solely on “clinical quality outcomes” over several years and provides a measure of consumer confidence. As such it is largely patient-outcome focused rather than evaluating the hospital as a workplace or employer.
