![]() ![]() Kosair Children's Hospital in Louisville, Ky., the pediatric arm of Norton Healthcare, has been named as one of the nation’s top pediatric facilities by US News & World Report magazine today. Admitting more than 200 children a day, Kosair Nursing was singled out for its nursing excellence, because of its status as a Nurse Magnet facility. Special recognition was given for its patient and family services, which include computer work stations, a family resource center, and sleep areas for parents and siblings.
The rankings rely on an extensive data survey sent to a carefully selected set of hospitals, and a reputational survey sent to pediatric specialists. For the specialist survey, 150 physicians in each specialty were asked to name up to five hospitals they consider best for children with serious or difficult problems in their field, without regard to cost or geography. The last three years of responses were totaled.
The magazine also ranks Norton Healthcare as the Number 1 hospital in the Louisville Metro area; with 12 “high-performing” specialties. Kosair Children’s is ranked as the Number 1 pediatric hospital in the area; with 7 “nationally ranked” specialties.
