Nationwide Children’s Hospital has been ranked in all 10 specialties in U.S. News Media Group’s Best Children’s Hospitals rankings, now available online at www.usnews.com/childrenshospitals. The new rankings recognize the top 50 children’s hospitals in 10 specialties: cancer, cardiology and heart surgery, diabetes and endocrinology, gastroenterology, neonatology, nephrology, neurology and neurosurgery, orthopedics, pulmonology, and urology. Nationwide Children’s ranked in the top 10 for Gastroenterology and Cardiology/Heart Surgery. The hospital earned rankings in every specialty this year, its sixth consecutive year appearing on the U.S. News list. “We salute Nationwide Children’s Hospital,” said Health Rankings Editor Avery Comarow. “The goal of the Best Children’s Hospitals rankings is to call attention to pediatric centers with the expertise to help the sickest kids, and Nationwide Children’s is one of those centers.” Now in its sixth year, Best Children’s Hospitals pulls together clinical and operational data from a lengthy survey, completed by the majority of the 177 hospitals asked to participate for the 2011-12 rankings. The survey asks hundreds of questions about survival rates, nurse staffing, subspecialist availability, and many more pieces of critical information difficult or impossible for those in charge of a child’s care to find on their own. The data from the survey is combined with recommendations from pediatric specialists on the hospitals they consider best for children with challenging problems. ”These rankings are a credit to our staff and the world-class work they do on behalf of our patients and families every day,” said Steve Allen, MD, Nationwide Children’s CEO. “The rankings are also a testament to the success of our strategic plan as we work to improve outcomes, advance research and transform care for children everywhere..” For the full rankings and methodology, visit www.usnews.com/childrenshospitals.
