From UCLA & USC
Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center has been rated as one of the top three such elite medical institutions in the nation, while two cross-town Trojan facilities also got high marks. These were part of the 20th annual rankings by U.S. News and World Report, which said it crunched data on 4,816 hospitals nationwide to give its estimates of how well they handle the most demanding medical situations and procedures, how well practitioners think of them and how their various medical specialties (16 of them, including cancer care to urology, were evaluated) stack up. Researchers also take into account death rates, patient safety and care-related factors like nursing and patient services. The top two hospitals were deemed to be Johns Hopkins and the Mayo Clinic, with Ronald Reagan No. 3 and the best in the West. USC's several hospitals fared well in the specialty rankings and Childrens Hospital, staffed exclusively by Trojan faculty physicians, previously was announced as a top kids' care facility.
