U.S. News and World Report names Tomball among best hospitals for performance
HCA Houston Healthcare Tomball was recognized by U.S. News and World Report for four procedures and/or conditions.
Houston, TX — HCA Houston Healthcare Tomball has been named by U.S. News & World Report to its 2024-2025 Best Hospitals as a High Performing Hospital in the areas of Congestive Heart Failure, COPD, Heart Attack and Kidney Failure. This is the highest distinction a hospital can earn for U.S. News’ Best Hospitals Procedures & Conditions ratings.
The annual Procedures & Conditions ratings are designed to assist patients and their health care providers in making informed decisions about where to receive care for challenging health conditions or elective procedures.
“Recognition for high performance by US News & World Report is a testament to the dedication and expertise of the HCA Houston Healthcare Tomball healthcare team,” states Rob Marmerstein, chief executive officer. “Our commitment to providing exceptional, quality care is making a significant impact in our Tomball and Greater North Houston communities. This achievement reflects our team's hard work and reinforces a culture of excellence that inspires continuous improvement. We are dedicated to striving for excellence in healthcare delivery.”
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 health care 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.
