Healthgrades recently named 55 hospitals in 13 states as having received the top ranking for cardiac care.
Healthgrades used Medicare patient outcome data from the CMS provider analysis and review for inpatient hospitals from 2020 through 2022 to determine the rankings.
To be considered for a cardiac care ranking, each state had to have more than seven hospitals that can be evaluated based on patient outcomes in coronary interventional procedures, heart attack, heart failure and either coronary artery bypass graft surgery or valve surgery. States with between seven and 10 eligible hospitals have three facilities ranked and states with 11 or more have five facilities ranked. The full methodology can be found here.
