On Oct. 22, Healthgrades unveiled its annual Specialty Excellence Awards for 2025, which included recognition of the nation’s 100 best hospitals for critical care.
The Specialty Excellence Awards for Critical Care recognize hospitals that deliver “superior patient outcomes in treating pulmonary embolism, respiratory system failure, sepsis and diabetic hospitalizations,” according to Healthgrades. Hospitals were selected based on an analysis of 2021-23 inpatient data from CMS’ Medicare Analysis and Review file. Healthgrades used in-hospital mortality and 30-day mortality data to calculate average z-scores for each of the conditions. Read more about the methodology here.
