Healthgrades, an online resource for information on physicians and hospitals, named its list of America's 50 Best Hospitals Tuesday. In 2017, less than half of the country (22 states) boasts a Top 50 hospital.
Healthgrades selected hospitals for the Best Hospitals Awards by looking at Medicare inpatient data from the Medicare Provider Analysis and Review database from 2013 through 2015 for the 32 most common inpatient conditions and procedures, among other data points
