The 100 Top Hospitals® program offers an unbiased, transparent method for identifying the nation's highest-performing hospitals. Using a balanced scorecard approach, the program evaluates hospitals across clinical outcomes, operational efficiency, financial performance and patient experience.

The program also recognizes the Everest Award, which honors hospitals that set national benchmarks for both the fastest rate of improvement and the highest current-year performance on the 100 Top Hospitals® balanced scorecard. This distinction highlights the boards, executives and medical staff leaders who developed and executed strategies that drove significant, sustained improvement—culminating in top performance in the United States over a five-year period.

Unlike other ranking programs that rely on a pay-to-play model, these rankings are strictly based on objective performance data. No other program provides the same level of detailed insights, national benchmarks and trend reports.
