Massachusetts is even better represented in the US News & World Report rankings released today than this item earlier this morning reported.

Boston Medical Center placed 20th in rheumatology, 25th in respiratory disorders, and 31st in geriatric care on the list. And the Austen Riggs Center in Stockbridge was ranked 15th in psychiatry. Hospitals were rated in 16 specialties.

The earlier item (now updated) was based on incomplete information furnished by the magazine before results were available online.
