BIDMC Nationally Ranked in 9 Specialties

BOSTON – Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) has been named as a top hospital in Massachusetts by U.S. News & World Report in its 2024-2025 Best Hospitals. BIDMC was nationally ranked in nine adult specialties and was also rated high performing in one specialty and 15 procedures and conditions in the group’s annual best hospital report.

“We are honored that U.S. News & World Report has recognized the exceptional care provided by our clinical teams and supported by all staff at BIDMC," said Pete Healy, President of BIDMC. "Our commitment remains steadfast in delivering extraordinary care to our patients.”

U.S. News evaluated nearly 5,000 hospitals across 15 specialties and 20 procedures and conditions; only 11% of evaluated hospitals earned a Best Hospitals ranking. Hospitals awarded a “Best” designation excelled at factors such as clinical outcomes, level of nursing care and patient experience.

BIDMC was named as the #3 best hospital in the Boston region and #3 best hospital in Massachusetts.

BIDMC was ranked #18 in the nation for cancer care, #24 for gastroenterology & GI surgery, #26 for pulmonary & lung surgery, #33 for geriatrics, #33 for diabetes & endocrinology, #40 for cardiology, heart and vascular surgery, #43 for neurology & neurosurgery, #45 for OBGYN and #50 for urology.

BIDMC was also rated high performing in 1 specialty and 15 procedures and conditions, including heart bypass surgery, colon cancer surgery, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes, kidney failure and pneumonia, among others.

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 and Procedures & Conditions ratings methodology measure patient outcomes using data from millions of records provided by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. This year, among other methodology refinements, U.S. News incorporated new data on care provided to patients with Medicare Advantage insurance and on care provided to outpatients, nearly doubling the number of patients included in its annual data analysis. The Procedures & Conditions ratings are based entirely on objective quality measures.
