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.

Quality of care good, but understaffed like all hospitals.

Quality is good at times, but staffing issues are decreasing overall care quality.
Care is satisfactory; quality can vary depending on nurse and unit, but we genuinely strive for the best despite challenges.
Smaller hospital allows for more personalized care and attention to patients due to fewer patients to care for.
Perform high-quality care, but expect long wait times. Nice ICU, good team of physicians, surgeons, and providers. Overall, really good job.
Highly skilled and dedicated medical staff, definitely recommend hospital for loved ones, especially in the Emergency Department.

"I would prefer them to go to Dameron. Honestly, I would have them come because I would be there. There are nurses I would trust with my family."
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:
South Florida Baptist Hospital demonstrates high overall patient satisfaction and has average mortality rates across all measured categories. With regards to emergency care, the hospital maintains an average emergency room wait time, with patients generally being seen and treated within 2-3 hours. It is important to note that the hospital has faced challenges in maintaining lower infection rates.
