RTI International collects and analyzes the data for the “Best Children’s Hospitals” rankings. The methodology reflects clinical outcomes, such as patient survival, infection rates and complications; the level and quality of hospital resources directly related to patient care, such as staffing, technology and special services; delivery of healthcare, such as programs that prevent infections and adherence to best practices; and expert opinion among pediatric specialists.
In the 2020-21 rankings, 89 of the 193 surveyed hospitals were ranked among the top 50 in at least one specialty. The 2021-22 Best Children’s Hospitals Honor Roll recognizes the 10 hospitals with the highest rankings across all specialties.
