UHS Acute Care Hospitals and Behavioral Health Facilities Earn Accolades in U.S. News & World Report’s 2022-2023 “Best Hospitals” Ratings
U.S. News & World Report recognized 20 UHS Acute Care hospitals, 121 UHS Behavioral Health facilities and eight Acute Care psychiatric services in its 2022-2023 “Best Hospitals” report, with South Texas Health System Edinburg named a Best Regional Hospital.
The annual “Best Hospital” ratings are designed to assist patients and their doctors in making informed decisions about where to receive care for challenging health conditions or elective procedures.
Now in its 33rd year, “Best Hospitals” evaluates about 4,500 hospitals across 15 specialties and 20 procedures and conditions.
A High Performer rating indicates a hospital was significantly better than the national average in a given procedure or condition. Hospitals that are not nationally ranked (top 50) could also be recognized as high performing in a specialty if they earned a score in the top 10% of hospitals scored in that specialty.
The rankings are largely based on objective measures such as survival rates, patient experience and other factors using data provided by Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the American Hospital Association, professional organizations and medical specialists.
