U.S. News: Health care rankings


The top 10

The bottom 10


Health Care Rankings:  Measuring how well states are meeting citizens' health care needs.  (U.S. News)
Health care quality holds one-third of the weight in ranking the Best States for health care. Four metrics – Medicare quality, hospital readmissions, nursing home quality and preventable hospital admissions – contributed to the rankings. Though this subcategory’s rankings are determined by only four metrics, they offer a broad and multifaceted outlook on the state of health care in the nation. Health care quality is intrinsically linked to health care accessibility, and it contributes heavily to a state's population health, the other two subcategories used to determine the Best States for health care.
