IBM Watson names '100 Top Hospitals' for 2018

IBM Watson Health published its 100 Top Hospitals study, an annual analysis that identifies top-performing hospitals in the U.S. based on an organization's overall performance.

For the study, IBM Watson Health used publicly available clinical, operational and patient satisfaction data to create a balanced scorecard. All together, the study analyzes 11 clinical and operational benchmarks across 2,840 short-term, acute care, non-federal hospitals.

Hospitals listed among the top 100 hospitals outperformed non-winning hospitals on several key performance measures, including: better survival rate, fewer complications and infections, shorter length of stay, shorter emergency department wait times, lower inpatient expenses, higher profit margins, and higher patient satisfaction scores.

Here are the top 100 hospitals that earned a place on IBM Watson Health's "100 Top Hospitals," listed by state.
