Em um trabalho que contou com o apoio de cerca de 10 mil especialistas, a rede de comunicação U.S. News divulgou o aguardado ranking dos melhores hospitais dos Estados Unidos referente ao biênio 2013-2014. Entre, aproximadamente, cinco mil instituições, foram eleitas as mais destacadas em 16 especialidades médicas.

Índices de mortalidade, segurança do paciente, e reputação do hospital, foram alguns dos fatores considerados para a elaboração da lista. Apenas 147 hospitais foram citados em mais de uma especialidade. Além do ranking, a U.S. News também divulgou o Quadro de Honra (Honour Roll), com as 18 instituições que estão no topo em pelo menos seis categorias.
