Main aim behind this move was to help families having children with rare or chronic health problems to find best medical care available.

The rankings help them know complete information, including hospital's performance. The rankings were given on the basis of responses of patient outcomes and care-related resources. Detailed questionnaires were sent to 184 pediatric hospitals. From it, US News gathered the information.

The report will be published in the US News 'Best Hospitals 2016' guidebook to be available September 1. Of the 184 pediatric hospitals surveyed across the nation, just 21 ranked in all 10 specialties. Hospitals are measured in three categories- resources; delivery of healthcare and clinical outcomes.

In each of the 10 specialties surveyed, St. Louis Children's Hospital- Washington University School of Medicine has been named among the best in the nation.
