About the “America’s 100 Best Hospitals^™” award. 

(from Healthgrades.com) 
America’s Best Hospitals^™ is the highest distinction offered by Healthgrades^®. These hospitals exhibit exceptional, comprehensive, and consistent quality year over year. Simply put, patients are more likely to have a successful treatment without major complications—and have a lower chance of dying—at America’s Best Hospitals^™. 

From 2014 through 2019, patients treated in hospitals achieving Healthgrades^® America’s 100 Best Hospitals^™ Award had, on average, 22.3 percent lower risk of dying than if they were treated in hospitals that did not receive this award, as measured across 19 rated conditions and procedures where mortality is the outcome. 

During this same period, if all other hospitals, as a group, performed at the level of America’s 100 Best Hospitals^™Award recipients across these 19 procedures and conditions, 162,284 lives could potentially have been saved.
