Hospitals in Texas, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania are among the 50 best major teaching hospitals in the U.S., according to a ranking released by Washington Monthly Magazine, in partnership with nonpartisan healthcare think tank the Lown Institute.
The ranking is based on performance in three categories: patient outcomes, civic leadership and value of care. Patient outcomes involves three components: clinical outcomes, patient safety and patient satisfaction. Civic leadership comprises community benefit, inclusivity and pay equity. Value of care is based on one measure component: rates of overuse. More information about the methodology is available here.
