Tennessee hospitals — FAQ

How many Medicare-certified hospitals are in Tennessee?
122 Medicare-certified hospitals operate in Tennessee as of the CMS Hospital General Information snapshot (2026-05-07). 66 carry a CMS overall star rating, averaging 3.02 of 5.
What kinds of hospitals does Tennessee have?
Tennessee's hospitals break down by CMS hospital type (acute care, critical access, children's, psychiatric and more) and by ownership (government, proprietary, and voluntary non-profit). 81.1% offer emergency services. The breakdown tables on this page aggregate every facility CMS lists in the state.
What does the CMS overall star rating mean?
The CMS overall hospital rating (1–5 stars) summarizes performance across measure groups such as mortality, safety of care, readmission, patient experience, and timely & effective care. CMS does not rate every hospital; facilities below the reporting threshold show no rating and are excluded from the state average rather than counted as zero.
Where does this hospital data come from and how current is it?
The displayed fields come from the CMS Hospital General Information file, source-modified 2026-01-26. Record-level provenance can be null; cross-check a consequential facility record at Medicare.gov.

Integrated, with-data, and fresh-observation counts are separate. No platform-wide source-completeness count is published. Completeness is source-specific and must be evaluated against the named source's expected scope. State coverage is a separate jurisdiction measure.

Source authority is record-specific

Use the issuer named on the record.

Fonteum spans federal, state, and global public publishers. A source page or returned record identifies its issuer and dataset where that metadata is available. A platform registry count does not assign every page to one authority or establish loaded, fresh, or complete coverage.

Reproducible by design

Inspect the evidence each published figure actually supplies.

Source and date

Research pages expose the named public file and observation date where those fields are available. Source-file SHA-256 coverage is separate; facts do not currently link deterministically to signatures.

Available derivation

Studies with a retained release and committed derivation link the SQL or method used. Other studies state the evidence and reproduction limits they actually have.

Daily observations

Dated table row-count observations can detect local drift. They do not imply that an upstream publisher released or Fonteum ingested new data that day.
