Hello there
There is more than one list of the top ten teaching hospitals based on
different benchmarks. Some of these lists, such as the Solucient top
100 are by subscription only.
The listings I will be using are from the National Opinion Research
Center. You will find that some lists do drag a year as information
may take time to be accumulated.
These hospitals were evaluated using a model developed in 1993 by
Craig Hill of the National Opinion Research Center (NORC), a social
science research group at the University of Chicago. To be eligible
for ranking, a hospital had to meet these requirements - "affiliation
with a medical school or membership in the Council of Teaching
Hospitals." Other criteria are surgical volume, ratio of registered
nurses to beds and number of medical and surgical discharges.
This year's rankings were produced by Colm O'Muircheartaigh, Joseph
Murphy, and Whitney Moore. In each specialty, 180 board-certified
physicians were selected at random and asked to list up to five
hospitals they consider tops in their specialty regardless of cost or
location. The score shows the percentage of responding doctors in
2000, 2001, and 2002 who picked the hospital. The number of doctors
surveyed was raised by 30 per specialty for the 2002 list, a total of
8,160 physicians were surveyed.
You have also asked for details about each of these institutions.
Since the "details" are vast and varied, the best thing I can do for
you is let each hospital speak for itself. So you will find a link to
each after the listing.

All of these are NORC ranked hospitals, therefor they are teaching
establishments.
I hope you don't mind me sending you to the websites to get the
details of each hospital. To try and cover them as a separate topic
within the answer would involve endless quotes and would probably
create more confusion than clarity.

If I may clarify anything before you rate the answer, please ask.
