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.

Nurses Say it Straight

Better seek care elsewhere. Staffing issues, overwhelmed staff, unable to establish connection with patients.
Quality of care needs improvement, nursing shortage, high physician turnover, focus on profit, lacking necessary equipment, issues within our hospital.
Hospital good overall, staffing problem. Cardiology has best cardiac team. Nervous about quality of care in med surg units.
Understaffed but dedicated nurses strive to provide quality care despite challenging conditions, going above and beyond for patients.
Doing their best with limited resources, but some nurses don't care. Advocate for your family member or pull the nurse card. Mixed recommendations.
Quality of care at the hospital is a 5/10; provider-dependent. Some are knowledgeable and provide great care, others, especially new grads, may not. Pandemic exposed weaknesses, need proper fixes.
Some departments provide better care, but my department is run well. There are often issues with understaffing and past errors.
Great teamwork, passionate staff, improved care with hospitalists, better communication, accessible doctors, and flexible availability.
We care for our patients well, with attentive managers. As a newer nurse, I'm still learning.

"Depends on the unit. Would recommend hospital overall, but hesitant about the ED. Staff seems hardened and uncaring."
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:
Based on the CMS HCAHPS patient ratings and quality data, HCA Florida Blake Hospital faces some challenges in delivering high-quality care. Patient satisfaction levels are notably low, with several reported issues. Patients found that staff were not sufficiently responsive to their needs and encountered difficulties with communication regarding their medications. Transitions between departments within the hospital were also problematic for patients. Additionally, patients expressed concerns about the ability to rest in a quiet environment. While the hospital performs averagely in terms of mortality rates and ER wait times, they struggle with effectively treating certain conditions such as pneumonia, resulting in patients returning to the hospital. On the positive side, the hospital excels in preventing infections among its patients.
