Based on Patient Outcomes, Not Popularity
The PINC AI™ 100 Top Hospitals® program is an unbiased, transparent approach to determine the top performing hospitals and health systems. The goal of the 100 Top Hospitals® program is to inspire hospital and health system leaders to strive for higher performance and provide added value to the patients and communities they serve.
Being recognized as a top performing hospital reflects excellence in leadership and governance from every person in the organization. No other ranking program provides as detailed insights, national benchmarks or trend reports as the 100 Top Hospitals® program. And, unlike any other healthcare ranking system, Health Systems never pay-to-play as our program is strictly based on performance.
WHAT IF EVERY HOSPITAL WAS A 100 TOP HOSPITAL®?
If the 100 Top benchmark were achieved by all hospitals in the U.S., the following would be true for the Medicare population. Imagine if the impact applied to all hospitals and populations.
Over 350,000 additional lives could be saved in-hospital.
Over 607,000 additional patients could be complication-free.
Over $17.6 billion in inpatient costs could be saved.
The typical patient could be released from the hospital a half day sooner.
Over 16,600 fewer discharged patients would be readmitted within 30 days.

Health equity
To further our mission of inspiring hospitals to deliver value to their communities, the 100 Top Hospitals® program includes a focus on health equity. This information, collected from winning hospitals, is factored into the final rankings. The survey highlights the role a hospital can play while acting as a/n:
- Healthcare provider by distributing critical services for community health and preventive care
- Partner by teaming up with local organizations to implement critical programs
- Anchor institution by supporting local economic and social progress
*Survey results are reflective of data provided by hospitals through the health equity survey that was completed from 2021 – 2024
