UPMC Presby-Shadyside's streak of being listed in US News' honor roll of hospitals (top 15-20 of 5,000+ hospitals in the US) is now at 18 years.
UPMC drops two spots in the national ranking to #14 (#2 in the state behind HUP). UPMC was #12 a year ago, see last year's post about the rankings here: https://pittsburgh.forums.rivals.com/threads/ot-new-hospital-rankings-upmc-12.87914/
Magee-Womens Hospital isn't included, which somehow dropped 39 spots and out the top 50. This also doesn't account for Children's Hospital's #9 ranking (down 2 from the prior year) since pediatric hospitals are ranked separately.
Here's how UPMC did in the specialty rankings compared to the prior year:
Cancer #35 (down 12)
Cardiology & Heart Surgery #20 (down 1)
Diabetes & Endocrinology #8 (up 24)
Ear, Nose & Throat #29 (down 23)
Gastroenterology & GI Surgery #6 (same)
Geriatrics #11 (up 1)
Nephrology #35 (down 2)
Neurology & Neurosurgery #20 (down 1)
Orthopedics #22 (down 11), Magee-Womens is #26
Psychiatry #12 (down 1)
Pulmonology #5 (up 2)
Rehabilitation #11 (same)
Rheumatology #11 (down 2)
Urology #13 (up 6)
Gynecology #51 (down 39, Magee-Womens Hospital)
Ophthalmology Unranked (same)
Some of those really took a beating. Magee, Ear, Nose and Throat?
UPMC also achieved High Performing status in 8 of 9 evaluated procedures: Abdominal aortic aneurysm repair, aortic valve surgery, COPD, Colon cancer surgery, heart bypass surgery, heart failure, hip replacement, and lung cancer surgery. Knee replacement dropped from high performing to average, the rest kept their "high performing" rating.
