What it means
Five-star Tennessee hospitals in this release: Leconte Medical Center (Sevierville), Memorial Healthcare System, Inc (Chattanooga), Mountain Home Va Medical Center (Mountain Home), Vanderbilt University Medical Center (Nashville), Vanderbilt Wilson County Hospital (Lebanon), Williamson Medical Center (Franklin).

The Overall Hospital Quality Star Rating summarizes a hospital's results on up to 46 measures in five groups: mortality, safety of care, readmission, patient experience, and timely and effective care. CMS rates hospitals that report enough measures; others show as not rated. The US distribution includes every rated hospital in the file.
A star rating is one view of quality. It is not a ranking of every service line, and it lags the period it measures.
