Roane Medical Center Earns 5-Star Quality Rating

August 2024 – Roane Medical Center has earned a 5-star Overall Quality Rating from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. It is one of five hospitals in the state to earn a 5-star rating, and the second consecutive year the hospital has received this rating.

The CMS uses publicly reported data to determine the Overall Hospital Quality Star Rating on a scale of one to five. To do so, the organization looks at 46 hospital quality measures that are broken into five areas: mortality, safety of care, readmission, patient experience, and timely and effective care.

Scores are calculated by taking the weighted average of the scores of each category. The mortality, safety of care, readmission and patient experience categories are each weighted at 22 percent; timely and effective care is weighted at 12 percent.

“We are thrilled and honored to be recognized with this CMS rating,” said Jason Pilant, president and chief administrative officer of Roane Medical Center. “Five-star patient care is what Roane Medical Center strives for and what our community deserves. I could not be prouder of our entire team.”

Fort Loudoun Medical Center, a sister facility of Roane, also received a 5-star rating.
