\nFamilies seeking the best care for their children can be confident in the world-class expertise and family-centered care provided by Children\u2019s Hospital Los Angeles. The 2022-23 Best Children\u2019s Hospitals survey evaluated 119 pediatric hospitals\u2014including freestanding institutions like CHLA, children\u2019s hospitals that are part of a larger health system, and specialty pediatric centers. Each was scored according to quality and safety performance benchmarks, research, peer recognition, certifications, and data provided by the hospital. They also considered third-party measures and distinctions, such as Magnet recognition for nursing excellence. CHLA received exceptional marks and was nationally ranked in all 10 pediatric subspecialties assessed by the survey, including top-10 recognition in four categories\u2014Diabetes & Endocrinology<\/a> (No. 7), Gastroenterology & GI Surgery<\/a> (No. 6), Orthopedics<\/a> (No. 6) and Urology<\/a> (No. 7). Other specialties that were nationally ranked included: Cancer<\/a>, Cardiology & Heart Surgery<\/a>, Neonatology<\/a>, Nephrology<\/a>, Neurology & Neurosurgery<\/a> and Pulmonology & Lung Surgery<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n

With more than 660,000 patient visits annually, CHLA cares for children ranging from newborn infants to young adults, coming from all 50 states and 90 countries.\n<\/p>\n

\nIn January, CHLA was redesignated a third time as a Magnet\u00ae hospital by the by the American Nurses Credentialing Center, recognizing the hospital\u2019s nurses and clinical team members for meeting and exceeding the highest standards of care for patients and their families. In total, CHLA has been conferred Magnet status four consecutive times, an accomplishment less than 3% of the 6,090 hospitals in the U.S. have achieved.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThese <\/i>rankings are a clear way for families to see CHLA\u2019s deep expertise in providing every patient with the highest quality, kid-friendly care, no matter their diagnosis,\u201d says CHLA Chief Medical Officer James Stein<\/a>, MD, MSc. \u201cEveryone\u2014from our frontline doctors, nurses and specialists to our behind-the-scenes facilities and other supporting team members\u2014is united in our commitment to guide every patient with knowledge and compassion.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nU.S. News and World Report works with research firm RTI International to develop its annual Best Children\u2019s Hospitals list. Rankings are based on hundreds of data points, including patient survival and surgical complication rates; staffing levels and expertise; technology; specialty services; infection prevention and delivery of care. Another major component is a nationwide reputation survey asking doctors where they would send their children and patients for the very best care. This year, U.S. News revised the survey to greater address the impact of COVID-19 on hospitals and to gauge how hospitals are advancing equity, diversity and inclusion, which can greatly influence care. U.S. News and RTI also began testing questions this year focused on behavioral health. While data collected from these test questions did not factor into the 2022-23 rankings, they will support the development of a future specialty ranking in pediatric and adolescent behavioral health.\n<\/p>\n

\nIn the past two years, recognizing that children have been incredibly hard-hit by the impact of the pandemic, CHLA launched considerable measures to address behavioral health in our pediatric patients, including:\n<\/p>\n
