Determined exclusively by patient outcomes, the America’s 250 Best Hospital award celebrates the top 5% of hospitals in the country for clinical excellence. To be eligible, a hospital must have evaluations in at least 21 of the 31 Healthgrades procedures and conditions using independent, publicly available Medicare inpatient data from the Medicare Provider Analysis and Review (MedPAR) file from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).

Hospitals that have been consistently recognized on the Healthgrades 250 Best Hospitals list are considered for the America’s 50 Best Hospitals and America’s 100 Best Hospitals lists. Evaluated on both their consecutive years on the list and their current year’s performance, these lists determine Healthgrades’ top 1% and 2% of hospitals respectively.
