To help consumers evaluate and compare hospital performance, HealthGrades (www.healthgrades.com/about) analyzed patient outcomes data for virtually every hospital in the country across 26 different patient cohorts. Their risk adjustment methodology considers important differences in patient demographic (e.g., age, gender) and clinical characteristics (e.g., underlying medical conditions) that could increase the patient’s risk of mortality or complications. Risk adjustment of the data is needed to make accurate and valid comparisons of clinical outcomes at different hospitals. Hospitals are then assigned one of three star ratings: 1-star (poor), 3-star (expected), or 5-star (best) for each of 26 procedures and diagnoses.

We've listed hospitals within 25 miles of Fairfax, VA who had 5-star ratings in 2012. For more information on HealthGrades risk-adjustment methodology, read the complete methodology HealthGrades Hospital Report Cards™ Mortality and Complication Outcomes Methodology at www.HealthGrades.com.
