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.

Excellent handling of stroke patients in the Emergency Department, but delays and lower quality care in med-surg floors.
Highly recommend hospital, especially cardiology department. Shortage of staff, but not as dire as it seems.

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, Irwin County Hospital demonstrates average performance across different mortality rates. The hospital's emergency room presents an average wait time of 2-3 hours, and patients are promptly seen and treated within this timeframe. However, one area of concern is the hospital's struggle with high infection rates.
