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.

Hit or miss with quality of care, standard workflow and level not always great. Speak up for yourself or have someone who can. At Kaiser, focus is not truly understanding and solving patient's problems, priority is quick diagnosis and treatment.
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:
CMS HCAHPS patient ratings and quality data for HCA Florida North Florida Hospital reveal several key points. Overall patient satisfaction is comparatively low, with patients reporting that the care team can be slow in meeting their needs. Concerns were raised regarding the ability to have a quiet rest in the hospital. However, the hospital performs well in terms of ER wait and treatment time, which averages less than 2 hours. While the hospital may struggle with treating conditions such as pneumonia to prevent readmissions, it excels in ensuring patients at the hospital do not acquire infections.
