Forbes is launching its inaugural "Top Hospitals By State 2026" list in mid-July 2026, building upon its national ratings system. The methodology for this new list is derived from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Provider Data Catalog (PDC), focusing on patient outcomes, hospital best practices, value, and patient experience. Clinical patient outcomes, such as mortality and infection rates, are given the most weight, and these measures are statistically adjusted for social drivers of health to ensure a more comprehensive comparison.
