Programs at Scripps Green, Scripps La Jolla rank nationally in eight specialties
 
SAN DIEGO – The combined medical programs of Scripps Green Hospital and Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla rank No. 1 in the San Diego region for the third year in a row and are among the best in the nation in eight specialties, according to U.S. News & World Report’s annual Best Hospitals list, which was released today.
“Ranking No. 1 in San Diego and among the best in the nation, repeatedly, is a great honor and a testament to the highest-quality patient care and expertise provided by our hardworking physicians, nurses and staff,” said Chris Van Gorder, president and CEO of Scripps Health. “While such recognition is celebrated by everyone here at Scripps, our patients are the real winners because they can take comfort in and benefit from access to outstanding health care right here in San Diego County.”
 
The annual U.S. News Best Hospitals rankings, now in their 30th year, recognize the nation’s top 50 hospitals that excel in treating patients with the most challenging health care needs. For 2019-2020, U.S. News evaluated hospitals in 16 adult specialties and ranked the nation’s top 50 hospitals in 12 of those specialties based largely on hard data.
 
The 4,653 hospitals that were analyzed by U.S. News & World Report represent virtually all U.S. community inpatient facilities. Only 165 (3 percent) of the hospitals analyzed were nationally ranked in at least one specialty.
 
The combined programs of Scripps La Jolla and Scripps Green hospitals (called “Scripps La Jolla Hospitals” on the list) were nationally ranked in eight specialties: Orthopedics (No. 11), Pulmonology (No. 12), Gynecology (No. 22), Gastroenterology and GI Surgery (No. 25), Cardiology and Heart Surgery (No. 29), Diabetes and Endocrinology (No. 31), Geriatrics (No. 36), and Neurology and Neurosurgery (No. 48).
 
Other high-performing areas
U.S. News recognizes high-performing hospitals in specialty areas that were not ranked in the top 50 but scored among the top 10 percent of hospitals that received scores. The combined programs of Scripps Green and Scripps La Jolla were designated as High Performing in nephrology and urology.
 
State ranking and metro rankings

In addition to evaluating hospitals by treatment of the most challenging cases, hospitals are ranked regionally by performance treating nine relatively common adult procedures and conditions. The combined programs of Scripps La Jolla and Scripps Green achieved the highest score possible and were designated High Performing in all nine categories: abdominal aortic aneurysm repair, aortic valve surgery, heart bypass surgery, heart failure, colon cancer surgery, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, hip replacement, knee replacement and lung cancer surgery.
 
Scripps Mercy Hospital San Diego was listed as High Performing in treating heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and aortic valve surgery.
 
Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas was listed as High Performing in treating heart failure, colon cancer surgery and knee replacement surgery.
 
For each of the common procedures, the hospitals were recognized for excellence in several areas including discharging patients to their homes instead of another hospital or nursing facility, survival rates, preventing readmissions, patient experience and preventing complications and prolonged hospitalizations.
