The Joint Commission is the health care industry's primary accrediting body and score hospital performance on evidence-based processes linked to positive patient outcomes.
Hospitals are recognized for scores of 95% or higher on both composite and in individual measures.
"A 95% score means a hospital provided an evidence-based practice 95 times out of 100 opportunities to provide the practice," the Joint Commission said in its annual report on quality and safety. "Each accountability measure represents an evidence-based practice—for example, giving aspirin at arrival for heart-attack patients, giving antibiotics one hour before surgery and providing a home management plan for children with asthma."

“We are proud of our nearly 200,000 employees and 35,000 affiliated physicians whose contributions ensure HCA is continuously striving to attain and sustain clinical excellence. Top Performers recognition is based on nationally comparable accountability measures of delivered clinical performance, not opinion surveys,” said Dr. Jonathan B. Perlin, HCA’s Chief Medical Officer and President of the company’s Clinical and Physician Services Group.
