The Leapfrog Group developed a list of the best teaching hospitals that met their 2022 top hospital methodology.
Top hospitals are identified using data from the watchdog organization's annual hospital survey, with selection based on excellence across staffing, hand hygiene, infection rates, surgery outcomes, maternity care, error prevention and other quality standards. Read more about the methodology breakdown for each category here.
They also received an A from the Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade in order to be eligible. Read on to see what hospitals made the cut.
