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:
Franklin County Medical Center consistently receives high overall patient satisfaction ratings, indicating a positive patient experience. Patients note that the staff at the hospital is responsive and efficient in meeting their needs quickly. The hospital is also praised for its cleanliness. While the hospital's mortality rates are average, their emergency room wait time is on par with others, with patients being seen and treated within an average of 2-3 hours. However, the hospital could improve in its treatment of conditions like heart failure, as patients often have to return for further care. On the other hand, the hospital is highly effective in treating conditions like pneumonia, resulting in fewer readmissions.
