Knowing the name and location of the highest-rated hospital in the entire state is valuable information to obtain. Information leading to the discovery of the best hospital in each state was compiled using data centered around affordability, patient income, care value, and equity. Each hospital received a state and national rank, and only one Missouri hospital scored the highest.
According to Stacker, the best hospital in all of Missouri is University of Missouri Healthcare in Columbia. This hospital ranks as the 166th best hospital in America and scored high in every category besides equity.
Here is what Stacker had to say about where they sourced the data to find the best hospital in Missouri:
"Stacker determined the three best hospitals in every state by analyzing the Lown Institute Hospitals Index, released in September 2021. That index includes a metric called âcivic leadershipâ in its scoring system, which accounts for a hospitalâs charity care, financial aid, staff pay, and other community-minded factors. The other major components of the index are âpatient outcomes,â meaning the hospitalâs performance in tending to patients and giving them comfortable experiences, and âvalue of care,â meaning the hospitalâs prioritization in taking care of patientsâ wallets along with their bodies by avoiding unnecessary procedures."
