In most specialties, U.S. News ranks the top 50 hospitals nationwide. This year, 147 different hospitals earned a ranking in at least one specialty. The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, for example, ranked first in Cancer. The Cleveland Clinic topped the Cardiology & Heart Surgery rankings. And the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York, N.Y., snagged No. 1 in Orthopedics. Hospitals that ranked nationally in any specialty have the skill and experience to treat the most complex and demanding cases that can arise in that area of medicine.

Some patients might be unable to travel far for care -- or may not need to because their condition is more straight-forward. To help them find care close to home, U.S. News ranks more than 700 hospitals by state, region and metro area. These Best Regional Hospitals are highly proficient in serving the needs of the majority of patients in at least one specialty.

Just five metropolitan areas have more than one Honor Roll hospital. New York City and Boston achieved this feat last year as well, and were joined this year by Los Angeles, Philadelphia and Cleveland, due to the additions of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Thomas Jefferson University Hospital (which landed on the coveted list for the first time), and University Hospitals Case Medical Center respectively.

Chicago's Northwestern Memorial Hospital jumped the highest in Honor Roll rankings from last year, from 12th to sixth place, while Barnes-Jewish Hospital/Washington University in St. Louis dropped the furthest down the list, from sixth place to 15th place. Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York, N.Y., and University of Michigan Hospitals and Health Centers in Ann Arbor fell off the Honor Roll but remain nationally ranked in multiple specialties.

To make the Honor Roll, a hospital had to score near the top in at least six out of 16 medical specialties.

U.S. News bases the rankings mostly on objective data on hospital performance, such as patient survival rates, and structural resources, such as nurse staffing levels. Each hospital's reputation, as determined by a survey of physician specialists, is also a factor determining each hospital's rankings.
