Specialty Care Rankings
Childrens Hospital Los Angeles is one of only seven children's hospitals in the nation — and the only pediatric medical center on the West coast — ranked in all 10 pediatric specialties and named to the national "Honor Roll" of children's hospitals in the United States in the current U.S. News & World Report rankings (now available online).
About the Rankings
U.S. News & World Report invited 160 hospitals to complete its survey to be considered for ranking.
View 2010 Rankings
Facilities asked to participate in the rankings were largely drawn from two membership categories of the National Association of Children’s Hospitals and Related Institutions (NACHRI). Several non-NACHRI members were added because of known pediatric expertise or at the recommendation of experts.
The methodology for the 2010 rankings is a blend of:
- Reputation
- Clinical outcomes
- Care-related measures, such as nursing, advanced technology, credentialing and other factors
The children’s hospitals were evaluated on a combination of opinions from pediatric specialists — the hospitals these specialists would recommend for the sickest children —along with data collected from a 60-page survey.
