Healthgrades evaluates hospitals solely on clinical outcomes, including risk-adjusted mortality and complications, to give consumers information to assist in finding a hospital that excels in providing the care they need. From 2020-2022, for example, Healthgrades found that patients treated at hospitals among America’s 100 Best for Orthopedic Surgery have, on average, a 45.2% lower risk of experiencing a complication than if treated in hospitals that did not receive the award. The 2024 Healthgrades analysis revealed that the variation in performance among hospitals continues to widen, making it increasingly important to seek care at top-rated programs.
“Healthgrades congratulates Maimonides Medical Center for being a national leader and demonstrating a deep commitment to providing high quality care to all patients,” said Brad Bowman, MD, Chief Medical Officer and Head of Data Science at Healthgrades. “As health systems nationwide endeavor to elevate the quality of care, these elite facilities provide a roadmap for success.
