Genesys named one of America's best hospitals

(GENESEE COUNTY, MI) US News and World Reportranked Genesys one of America's best hospitals for the care and treatment of patients with digestive disorders (gastroenterology). Of the 5,453 hospitals across the country eligible for this best hospital recognition, only 170 scored high enough to make the list. Genesys was one of these, and one of only four hospitals in Michigan ranked in the best hospital category for care of gastrointestinal disorders.
US News and World Reportreleases the best hospital list every year, reviewing 16 different specialities. According to the report, "the patient who truly needs outstanding care is the target of the 'best hospitals' ranking in which hospitals are judged not on routine procedures, but on difficult cases across an entire specialty."

To be considered for the best hospital ranking, hospitals first had to meet one of three requirements: membership in the Council of Teaching Hospitals, affiliation with a medical school, or availability of at least six of 13 key technologies. This year (this is the 19th year US Newshas released the report) nearly 2/3 of all hospitals failed the first requirement.

Next, they were scored using these factors: reputation, mortality rate, technology, volume, nurse staffing and other patient-related information. A total of eight Michigan hospitals were ranked on one or more of the 16 categories.

Genesys was the only hospital in the region to make America's top hospitals' list.
