Why Do Rankings Matter?

60% switch when they learn about low ratings at their first-choice hospital*
These are patients with higher income, higher education, and comprehensive health insurance. They’re the patients you need to attract—and can’t afford to lose.
But you can lock in their loyalty through ranking improvements. Advance your quality and patient safety outcomes, physician reputation, and U.S. News & World Report “Best Hospitals” and “Best Children’s Hospitals” rankings.
