Vermont Business Magazine Rutland Regional Medical Center has been named by U.S. News & World Report to its 2024-2025 Best Hospitals list as a High Performing hospital for both Hip and Knee Replacements. This is the highest distinction a hospital can earn for U.S. News’ Best Hospitals Procedures & Conditions ratings. RRMC is one of only two hospitals in the state to receive High Performing ratings for both procedures.
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. For close to a decade, Rutland Regional Medical Center has consistently ranked among the highest performing hospitals for both hip and knee replacement.
“This achievement reflects Rutland Regional’s longstanding commitment in providing structured collaborative care that centers on the individual needs of our patients,” said Judi Fox, President and CEO at RRMC. “Our teams are uniformly focused on the best outcomes for our patients.”
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 decision,” 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 measures patient outcomes using data from millions of records provided by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. This year, among other methodology refinements, U.S. New incorporated new data on care provided to patients with Medicare Advantage insurance and on care provide to outpatients, nearly doubling the number of patients included in its annual data analysis.
