Newsweek and research firm Statista released their annual rankings of the best hospitals in the U.S. for cardiac care, which includes four hospitals in California in the top 25.
The list was compiled by surveying health care professionals and hospital managers working in cardiology. Their responses were considered along with hospital quality metrics, patient experience surveys and an analysis of whether the facilities use patient-reported outcome measures to improve care.
