Fortune, in collaboration with healthcare intelligence platform PINC AI, has named its top 60 community hospitals in America.
To compile the ranking, researchers evaluated 2,644 short-term, acute care, non-federal U.S. hospitals using Medicare cost reports, Medicare Provider Analysis and Review data and CMS' core measures and patient satisfaction data. Each hospital was given up to five stars in each of four categories: clinical outcomes, operation efficiency, patient experience and financial health.
Each hospital also had the option to submit a survey for the community health measure. Doing so granted them the 25 percent "transparency" component. Each of the other components of the survey — hospital as a provider, hospital as a partner and hospital as an anchor institution — were worth 25 percent. To receive the full score, hospitals needed to attest to at least half of best practice standards for that component.
The list was broken into three categories based on size. Read more about the methodology here.
