About University Of Tn Medical Center Home Care Services

Average daily census: 106 patients. The hospice is required to comply with the Hospice Conditions of Participation at 42 CFR Part 418.

Local market context (Hamblen County): University Of Tn Medical Center Home Care Services is the only Medicare-certified hospice in the same-county sample for Tennessee. Sole-provider hospice counties concentrate referral flow from local SNFs, hospital discharge planners, and primary-care physicians into one set of relationships.

Levels of Care Provided

University Of Tn Medical Center Home Care Services provides: Levels of care not reported by CMS. CMS requires hospices to be capable of providing all four levels of care (routine home, continuous home, general inpatient, and respite) either directly or through written contractual arrangements.

Patient Population

University Of Tn Medical Center Home Care Services's diagnostic mix is balanced across multiple primary diagnoses (cancer 23%, dementia / Alzheimer 20%, plus other diagnoses). Diversified diagnostic mixes are operationally harder to staff for at the specialty level — the IDG must maintain readiness across cancer pain protocols, dementia behavioral management, and end-stage organ-failure symptom management simultaneously — but they smooth referral-volatility risk that more-concentrated hospices face.

Reported patient diagnostic mix: Cancer 23%, Dementia 20%, Circulatory/heart 20%, Respiratory 20%, Stroke 5%, Other 16%. OIG and CMS use diagnostic mix as one screening indicator when evaluating whether a hospice's patient population matches its claimed certification volume; outlier mixes attract additional medical-review scrutiny.

CMS Regional Oversight

University Of Tn Medical Center Home Care Services falls under HHS Region 4 — Atlanta (AL, FL, GA, KY, MS, NC, SC, TN) in CMS Provider Data. HHS / CMS Regional Office designations drive (a) which CMS Regional Office handles direct enforcement contact and survey-agency coordination for Conditions of Participation findings, and (b) which Office of Inspector General regional field office maintains jurisdiction over OIG hospice work-plan reviews. CAHPS Hospice Survey results are published at the facility level and aggregated nationally on CMS Care Compare; the 7 CAHPS Hospice composite measures (Communication, Help for Pain and Symptoms, Treating Patient with Respect, Information Continuity, Understanding the Care, Emotional Support, Rating of the Hospice) feed into the public Care Compare rating for each provider.

Hospice Care Index

Hospice Care Index (HCI) score: 0/10 (52th percentile nationally). The HCI is a 10-indicator composite measure CMS publishes for hospices, covering items like live-discharge rate, gaps in skilled nursing visits, and burdensome care transitions. The Tennessee median HCI score across same-state peers is 0.1, so University Of Tn Medical Center Home Care Services's 0 score sits well below the state median. A score below the 25th percentile is one of the screening factors CMS uses to flag hospices for additional quality oversight.

Peer comparisons on this page use a same-state cohort of 60 Medicare-certified hospices in Tennessee, pulled live from CMS Provider Data. The cohort excludes terminated and surrendered certifications, so the median reflects the currently-active peer set.
