Where to get treated: The best and worst hospitals in Illinois

,

Approximately 440,000 patients die annually from preventable hospital errors. Hospitals across the United States show quite different approaches to patient safety, according to the Hospital Safety Score Report. Thanks to research conducted by the HSS, the world’s leading academic medical center, we now know not only which medical facilities are the safest for patients, but also which hospitals in each state offer the best medical care.

The ranking was based on the percentage of the number of hospitals with the highest “A” rating in relation to the number of hospitals operating in a given state. Illinois was ranked 6th overall. 

Maine ranked first with 67% of A-rated hospitals. It was closely followed by Massachesetts, Florida, Virginia, New Jersey, Illinois, Tennessee, North Carolina, Colorado, and Georgia. 

The worst medical facilities across the nation are in Alaska. The next runner ups are the District of Columbia, North Dakota, New Mexico, Vermont, and Wyoming. None of these states have a hospital with an “A” rating.

Doctors and Healthcare: What is a Network?

  • A group of doctors, hospitals, or medical facilities that have a preferential contract with a given insurance company.

 

This means that each insurance company has their own group of doctors, hospitals, or medical facilities that they have a preferred contract with called network. It is important to check to see if your desired doctors or hospitals are in your carrier specific network, or else the insurance company will not cover the costs of your treatments or your financial responsibilities will be higher then in their network.
