The top hospitals in the US are focused on utilising technology to identify safety risks early and fostering a culture where patient safety is a shared responsibility.
Among more than 4,000 US hospitals evaluated on patient safety and outcomes measures, US News & World Report named 20 hospitals on its Honor Roll. Measures include risk-adjusted mortality rates, preventable complications and level of nursing care.
Quality and safety leaders at eight of US News & World Report’s 2025-26 Best Hospitals said their priorities for the rest of the year include expanding the use of predictive analytics, AI-powered monitoring and digital engagement tools to prevent harm, while strengthening team communication and psychological safety.
Paul Casey, Senior Vice President and Chief Medical Officer of Rush University System for Health (Chicago), said "We remain dedicated to reducing any potential of adverse events for our patients throughout the health system. We believe this is best accomplished by keeping patients engaged in their care throughout their care journey. So in addition to our regular team-based rounding, we are focused on digital engagement with our patients throughout their care journey. This includes a newly developed myRush app and broader Rush Connect digital experience. We also see AI as a key tool to surface insights for our teams to ensure we continue to provide the highest quality care for Rush patients."
