Scores are calculated using clinical data from nearly 108 hospitals through a detailed survey that looks at measures such as patient safety, infection prevention and adequacy of nurse staffing. In addition, part of each hospital’s score is derived from reputational surveys of board-certified pediatric specialists. In the 2024-2025 report, only 88 children’s hospitals were ranked in at least one of the pediatric specialties.
