The 2014-15 hospital rankings evaluated surveys of more than 9,500 physicians across nearly 5,000 medical centers in the U.S. High scores within at least six of the 16 specialties evaluated earned 17 hospitals a place on the Honor Roll. Death rates, patient safety and hospital reputation were a few of the many factors considered.
In the category of children's hospitals, evaluations were conducted across 10 specialties, and high scores in three or more specialties earned Honor Roll Status.
