Methodology

To be eligible for the list, companies must have a physical operation in the United States and at least 25 U.S.-based full- or part-time employees. In addition, at least 50% of a company's revenue must come from the direct provision of healthcare or healthcare-related services/supplies.

Publicly and privately held businesses, as well as for-profit and not-for-profit entities that have been in business for at least one year, are eligible for consideration.

Experts from Modern Healthcare’s partner, the Workforce Research Group, determined a score for each organization using a two-part assessment. Twenty percent of an organization's score was based on an employer assessment while the remaining 80% was based on employee feedback surveys. Organizations with the top 75 scores in the provider/insurer or vendor/supplier categories were included in the list.

On Oct. 10, Modern Healthcare will reveal the ranked order for providers/insurers and suppliers at a Best Places to Work in Healthcare Awards Gala in Nashville, Tennessee. The rankings will also be published in an Oct. 14 magazine supplement.
