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
We have not started to research this hospital, but you can see what comments are for hospitals with similar patient satisfaction rates:
Nurses Say it Straight
These comments are not from nurses at Clay County 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.
Very good care, small hospital, limited services, up-to-date facilities
Excellent handling of stroke patients in the Emergency Department, but delays and lower quality care in med-surg floors.
The hospital is okay, not too bad, but challenging due to frequent staff turnover, particularly in the ED.
Overall, good job, caring nurses, lack of medical oversight impacting care quality.
Highly recommend hospital, especially cardiology department. Shortage of staff, but not as dire as it seems.
Better care in ICU/critical care, new grads in med/surg, low staffing ratios affect quality of care.
Quality of care is great, staff is likable.
Unsafe, understaffed, business-focused. Recommend the Plaza, better care, staffing ratios the same, residents, fellows, attending physicians at Barnes Jewish.
The nursing staff is incredible, but the lack of resources and physician availability would influence my opinion on Menorah.

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:
Clay County Hospital demonstrates an average performance in terms of all measured mortality rates. Additionally, the hospital stands out with a low Emergency Room wait and treatment time, consistently providing efficient care to patients within a timeframe of less than 2 hours. These factors contribute to the overall quality of care provided by Clay County Hospital, ensuring prompt attention and timely treatment for individuals seeking emergency medical services.
