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
These comments are not from nurses at Huntsville Hospital but are instead nurse comments from hospitals with a similar size and quality ratings for illustration of what feedback from nurses at a hospital of this size and quality might be.
Certain surgeons are better; overall hospital care is safe.
Hospital quality good, but for specialized care (cardiology, oncology), suggest KU or Saint Luke's.
Nurses go above and beyond, prioritizing patient safety, well-being, and prompt communication with doctors for problem resolution.
I love WakeMed. They don't overload us, they care and listen.
It's really good, my favorite. Nurses take patient care seriously, collaborate, monitor fetal heart rate, prioritize concerns, and include patients in decision-making.
Absolutely the best place in the county to have a baby, confident in the care, excited for my grandchild's birth.
Highly recommend hospital for mother/baby care, complete confidence in department. Would not recommend residency clinic for OB/GYN services.
Highly recommend this hospital, excellent care, strong safety culture, continuous evaluation and evidence-based approach.
"Our care is great, don't hesitate to come here. There are always people to help with heavy patients. Management is really good."

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:
Huntsville Hospital has an average overall patient satisfaction rating according to the CMS HCAHPS patient ratings and quality data. However, one area of concern is the hospital's long ER wait time, with patients waiting for over three hours on average to be seen and treated. Another aspect that needs improvement is the hospital's treatment of conditions such as heart failure and pneumonia, which results in patients needing to return to the hospital. These factors should be taken into consideration when evaluating the quality of care provided by Huntsville Hospital.
