Each year, the nation’s hospitals and their marketing departments wait with bated breath for The US News and World Report hospital ranking report, and the 2015-2016 rankings are in.
The 2015-2016 rankings culled data for nearly 5,000 hospitals plus the results from surveys of more than 140,000 physicians to rank the best centers in 16 adult specialties from cancer to urology. Death rates, patient safety, and hospital reputation were some of the factors considered. Only 137 hospitals were nationally ranked in a specialty.
Plastic and reconstructive surgery and dermatology are not included in the report, but Ear, Nose & Throat is.
