HealthLine Systems’ Clients Honored Among Nation’s Best Hospitals
San Diego, CA (PRWEB) July 30, 2013 -- “Some hospitals,” explains U.S. News & World Report, “have more expertise than others when it comes to caring for patients with life-threatening or rare conditions. And people facing such health challenges need every bit of help they can get. That’s why U.S. News & World Report publishes annual rankings of the nation’s Best Hospitals.”
The rankings are now in their 24th year. They cover nearly 5,000 medical centers across the United States and span 16 medical specialties, from cancer to neurology & neurosurgery. Hospitals that rank near the top of at least six specialties earn a spot on the Honor Roll. Just 18 distinguished hospitals were included on the list for 2013-14.
"U.S. News bases the rankings mostly on objective data on hospital performance, such as patient survival rates, and structural resources, such as nurse staffing levels. Each hospital’s reputation, as determined by a survey of physician specialists, is also a factor determining each hospital’s rankings." – Source, accessed 7.24.13: http://health.usnews.com/health-news/best-hospitals/articles/2013/07/16/best-hospitals-2013-14-overview-and-honor-roll
