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:
North Okaloosa Medical Center is a hospital that exhibits average performance across various aspects of patient care. The hospital receives mixed reviews on overall patient satisfaction. While the mortality rate at the hospital is average, it is evident that North Okaloosa Medical Center takes patient well-being seriously as it excels in reducing the risk of infections for patients. Additionally, the hospital demonstrates proficiency in promptly attending to patients in the emergency department, with an average wait time of 2-3 hours. However, there is room for improvement in the hospital's management of conditions like heart failure, as it does not perform well in preventing readmissions for such cases. Despite these areas in need of progress, North Okaloosa Medical Center prioritizes patient safety through infection prevention.
