Η Healthgrades, μια online εταιρεία που παρέχει πληροφορίες για γιατρούς και νοσοκομεία, παρουσίασε τη λίστα με τα 100 κορυφαία νοσοκομεία της Αμερικής. Τα 100 κορυφαία νοσοκομεία της Αμερικής, σε σχέση με όσα έμειναν εκτός λίστας, έχουν κατά μέσο όρο 26,5% χαμηλότερο ποσοστό θανάτων, καθώς η θνησιμότητα είναι το μετρήσιμο μέγεθος για να βγει η σχετική λίστα.
Τα νοσοκομεία που υπάρχουν στη λίστα έχουν βραβευτεί για τουλάχιστον τρία χρόνια τα τελευταία χρόνια με το διακεκριμένο βραβείο της Healthgrades «Νοσοκομειακή Κλινική Αριστεία». Τα κορυφαία 50 νοσοκομεία έχουν πάρει αυτό το βραβείο για τουλάχιστον έξι συναπτά έτη. «Αν όλα τα νοσοκομεία της χώρας παρείχαν παροχές όπως αυτά τα 100, τότε περισσότερες από 170.000 ζωές θα μπορούσαν ενδεχομένως να έχουν σωθεί», αναφέρεται στο δελτίο Τύπου της Healthgrades.
Το 63% των νοσοκομείων που βρίσκονται στα 100 κορυφαία νοσοκομεία της Αμερικής έχουν πολύ χαμηλότερο ποσοστό θνησιμότητας σε περιπτώσεις καρδιακής προσβολής και έχουν χαρακτηριστεί με 5 αστέρια. Το 60% των νοσοκομείων έχουν επίσης πέντε αστέρια στην θεραπεία εγκεφαλικών επεισοδίων, το 80% έχει πέντε αστέρια στη θεραπεία της πνευμονίας και το 46% έχει πέντε αστέρια στις περιπτώσεις χρόνιας αποφρακτικής πνευμονοπάθειας.
Να σημειωθεί πως η εταιρεία Healthgrades δεν έδωσε αναλυτικά λίστα των 100 νοσοκομείων (προφανώς για να μην θεωρεί πως κάνει διαφήμιση) και απλά αναφέρει ποια νοσοκομεία είναι στο Top100 και ποια στο Top50.
