Thomson Reuters released its annual study identifying the 100 top U.S. hospitals based on their overall organizational performance, including patient care, operational efficiency, and financial stability. The Thomson Reuters 100 Top Hospitals study compares hospitals only against similar facilities in terms of size and teaching status. It evaluates performance in 10 areas: mortality, medical complications, patient safety, average patient stay, expenses, profitability, patient satisfaction, adherence to clinical standards of care, post-discharge mortality and readmission rates for acute myocardial infarction (heart attack), heart failure, and pneumonia.
