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:
Based on the CMS HCAHPS patient ratings and quality data, HCA Florida Gulf Coast Hospital may have some areas for improvement in terms of overall patient satisfaction. Patients have reported that the care team can sometimes be slow in meeting their needs. Additionally, the hospital's mortality rates are average for all measured conditions. However, it is worth noting that the hospital has an average ER wait time, with patients typically being seen and treated within 2-3 hours. Furthermore, the hospital excels in treating conditions such as heart attacks, resulting in lower readmission rates. Additionally, HCA Florida Gulf Coast Hospital has exceptional measures in place to prevent patients from acquiring infections during their stay.
