Winchester Hospital has been named as a top hospital in Massachusetts by U.S. News & World Report in its 2024-2025 Best Hospitals. Winchester Hospital was also rated high performing in seven procedures and conditions.
“Our staff’s dedication to providing exceptional care to our patients daily is reflected in this recognition,” said Al Campbell, MBA, FACHE, RN, president of Winchester Hospital. “At Winchester Hospital, we offer the utmost care and expertise, and we are proud to be acknowledged by the U.S. News & World Report.”
U.S. News evaluated nearly 5,000 hospitals across 15 specialties and 20 procedures and conditions; only 11% of evaluated hospitals earned a Best Hospitals ranking. Hospitals awarded a “Best” designation excelled at factors such as clinical outcomes, level of nursing care and patient experience.
Winchester Hospital was named as the #9 best hospital in the Boston region and the #11 hospital in Massachusetts. The hospital was rated high performing in seven procedures and conditions: congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes, hip replacement, kidney failure, knee replacement and pneumonia.
To calculate the Best Hospitals rankings, U.S. News evaluated each hospital’s performance on objective measures such as risk-adjusted mortality rates, preventable complications and level of nursing care. The Best Hospitals Specialty rankings methodology and Procedures & Conditions ratings methodology measure patient outcomes using data from millions of records provided by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
This year, among other methodology refinements, U.S. News incorporated new data on care provided to patients with Medicare Advantage insurance and on care provided to outpatients, nearly doubling the number of patients included in its annual data analysis. The Procedures & Conditions ratings are based entirely on objective quality measures.
