as patient outcomes, the number of times a given procedure is performed,
infection rates, and adequacy of the nursing staff, among others, are
used. In addition to national rankings, hospitals were also ranked regionally
within states and major metro areas. Best Hospitals was produced by
U.S. News with RTI International, a leading research organization based in North
Carolina. The rankings are published in the
U.S. News"
Best Hospitals 2019" guidebook.
