Healthgrades published its “Specialty Excellence 2027 Awards,” recognizing hospitals for their patient outcomes across 19 specialties, including inpatient orthopedic surgery.
Florida has 29 hospitals included in the list, the most of any state. California has 21 hospitals on the list, followed by Texas with 13 hospitals.
The awards measure hospitals’ performance using Medicare inpatient data from 2023 to 2025 for 31 conditions and procedures. To be ranked, a hospital must have no one-star ratings and at least one five-star rating in the cohort being measured. Read more on the methodology here.
