The annual Procedures & Conditions ratings are designed to assist patients and their health care providers in making informed decisions about where to receive care for challenging health conditions or elective procedures.
“From injury prevention and recovery to total joint replacement and rehabilitation, our Orthopedic specialists at AdventHealth Heart of Florida are working every day to help members of our community feeling better and doing the activities they love,” said AdventHealth Polk Market President and CEO Tim Clark. “We are honored that our teams are being recognized nationally for continuing to provide exceptional, compassionate, whole-person care.”
U.S. News evaluated nearly 5,000 hospitals across 15 specialties and 20 procedures and conditions; only 11 percent of evaluated hospitals earned a Best Hospitals ranking.
Hospitals awarded a “Best” designation excelled at factors such as clinical outcomes, level of nursing care and patient experience.
“For 35 years, U.S. News has been a leading resource for patients navigating their health care decisions,” said Ben Harder, chief of health analysis and managing editor at U.S. News. “A 'Best Hospital' recognition empowers patients to seek out medical care from the best of the best to treat their illness or condition.”
To calculate the Best Hospitals rankings, U.S. News evaluated each hospital’s performance on objective measures such as risk-adjusted mortality rates, preventable complications and level of nursing care.
The Best Hospitals Specialty rankings methodology and Procedures & Conditions ratings methodology measure patient outcomes using data from millions of records provided by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
This year, among other methodology refinements, U.S. News incorporated new data on care provided to patients with Medicare Advantage insurance and on care provided to outpatients, nearly doubling the number of patients included in its annual data analysis. The Procedures & Conditions ratings are based entirely on objective quality measures.
