The ranking system compared the performance of over 3,200 hospitals across the country, measuring three categories:
- Civic leadership – reflects an assessment of pay equity, community benefit spending, and inclusivity to evaluate how strongly hospitals are engaged with improving community health and well-being.
- Value of care - reflects how well a hospital avoids the use of low-value services, medical services that offer no clinical benefit to patients and may harm them.
- Patient outcomes - reflects a hospital's performance as it relates to its patients' health and experience of care. This category is calculated from three components: clinical outcomes, patient safety, and patient satisfaction
According to the Lown Institute, its new index is the first hospital ranking to take into account how much hospitals spend on community benefits, as well as the proportion of low-income patients they serve. It is also is the first hospital ranking to take into account how well hospitals serve people of lower income or education levels, and people of color.

“At a time when communities are relying on them like never before, hospitals must rethink what it means to be great,” said Vikas Saini, M.D., president of the Lown Institute. “COVID-19 highlights how hospitals are essential community partners for anyone in need. To be great, however, a hospital cannot only provide care that’s high in quality. It must also deliver value and advance equality. Our index is designed to help them do just that.”
“We are proud of this special accolade,” said Julie Yaroch, D.O., president, ProMedica Bixby Hospital. “We are dedicated to maintaining exceptional levels of care and quality for each patient.”
