CareLuminate does not have nurse interviews for this hospital currently, but is estimating the Nurse Recommendation Score based on the strong relationship between patient feedback and nurse feedback.
How Does CareLuminate Estimate The Nurse Recommendation Score?
With over 1,000 nurses having participated with CareLuminate to date, we have found that the relationship between hospital patient recommendation ratings and nurse recommendation ratings is very strong (p<.001, R-squared = .42).
While the two ratings are often similar, the comments from nurses are extremely important because they show an important 'inside view' into strengths or concerns in a hospital. CareLuminate is working towards offering nurse insights into every hospital in the US.

Summary of Hospital-Reported Data
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services requires hospitals to collect and report on hospital quality and patient satisfaction data. While the data can be dated (collected 1 to 4 years ago) the insights are an important view into hospital safety and quality. We looked through all of this data, and here is our summary of what we found:
Larkin Community Hospital Palm Springs Campus has received low overall patient satisfaction ratings based on CMS HCAHPS patient ratings and quality data. Patients have reported challenges with communication regarding their discharge and follow-up instructions. Additionally, there are significant challenges experienced by patients during transitions between departments within the hospital. The hospital's performance in terms of measured mortality rates is average across the board. Furthermore, the hospital has a long average ER wait time, with patients waiting over 3 hours on average to be seen and treated. It is worth noting that the hospital struggles in effectively treating conditions such as heart failure to prevent patients from having to return. However, Larkin Community Hospital Palm Springs Campus performs above average in preventing infections among patients at the hospital.
