Hospitals are evaluated across many areas of performance including low infection rates, practices for safer surgery and the capacity to prevent medication errors. Nearly 2,400 hospitals were considered for the award, and less than 5% of the eligible hospitals earned the honor of Top Hospital. A total of 112 Top Hospitals were selected from four hospital categories: children's, general, rural and teaching.
