U.S. News & World Report Names San Antonio Regional Hospital Among Best Hospitals 2024-2025 as High Performing

The annual Procedures & Conditions ratings are designed to assist patients and their healthcare providers in making informed decisions about where to receive care for challenging health conditions or elective procedures. 

”To be rated by U.S. News & World Report as High Performing in four conditions this year is a prestigious endorsement,” said John Chapman, President & CEO of San Antonio Regional Hospital.  “The annual U.S. News & World Report Best Hospital ratings are a highly-respected resource for patients to evaluate hospitals when it comes to their illness or condition. We thank our providers and clinical care teams for providing such a high level of care across these specialties.”

U.S. News evaluated nearly 5,000 hospitals across 15 specialties and 20 procedures and conditions. Hospitals awarded a “Best” designation excelled at factors such as clinical outcomes, level of nursing care and patient experience. 

“For 35 years, U.S. News has been a leading resource for patients navigating their healthcare decisions,” said Ben Harder, chief of health analysis and managing editor at U.S. News. “The ‘High Performing’ designation acknowledges hospitals that consistently deliver high-quality care  for specific medical procedures and conditions.  This recognition highlights their expertise and commitment to patient well-being.”

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.
