Just announced: 100 Top Hospitals 2021
Overview
What is 100 Top Hospitals?
For most hospital leaders, it’s not enough to know who’s on top. They must know 1) “Why?” and 2) “What can we do to get there?”
Watson Health® 100 Top Hospitals® answers these questions by conducting an annual, in-depth study of US hospital performance – and applying the data to provide custom reports and services that help achieve results.

About the study
History and approach
The Watson Health® 100 Top Hospitals® study identifies the top-performing hospitals in the US using a balanced scorecard comprised of clinical, operational and financial metrics (PDF, 1.2 MB) derived from publicly available data. As the industry has evolved, so has our study — and 28 years later, it serves as a benchmark of what’s achievable in healthcare.
