New York–Presbyterian Hospital–Columbia and Cornell sits at No. 3 in 2023-2024, up from No. 4 in 2022-2023, while Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore is ranked No. 4, down from No. 2.

“Consumers want useful resources to help them assess which hospital can best meet their specific care needs,” Ben Harder, chief of health analysis and managing editor at U.S. News, said in a statement.
“The 2023-2024 Best Hospitals rankings offer patients and the physicians with whom they consult a data-driven source for comparing performance in outcomes, patient satisfaction, and other metrics that matter to them,” Mr. Harder said.
Honor roll
This year, as in prior years, U.S. News also recognized “honor roll” hospitals that have excelled across multiple areas of care. However, in 2023-2024, for the first time, there is no ordinal ranking of hospitals making the honor roll. Instead, they are listed in alphabetical order.
In a letter to hospital leaders, U.S. News explained that the major change in format came after months of deliberation, feedback from health care organizations and professionals, and an analysis of how consumers navigate the magazine’s website.
Ordinal ranking of hospitals that make the honor roll “obscures the fact that all of the Honor Roll hospitals have attained the highest standard of care in the nation,” the letter reads.
With the new format, honor roll hospitals are listed in alphabetical order. In 2023-2024 there are 22.

According to U.S. News, to keep pace with consumers’ needs and the ever-evolving landscape of health care, “several refinements” are reflected in the latest best hospitals rankings.
These include the introduction of outpatient outcomes in key specialty rankings and surgical ratings, the expanded inclusion of other outpatient data, an increased weight on objective quality measures, and a reduced weight on expert opinion.
In addition, hospital profiles on USNews.com feature refined health equity measures, including a new measure of racial disparities in outcomes.
