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:
Salem Township Hospital is recognized for providing high-quality care based on the CMS HCAHPS patient ratings and quality data. Overall patient satisfaction is remarkably high, with patients praising the hospital for its outstanding nurse communication and prompt response to their needs. Patients also commend the staff for meeting their needs quickly and appreciate the hospital's cleanliness and tranquil atmosphere. In terms of mortality rates, the hospital maintains an average performance across all measured categories. Furthermore, the hospital demonstrates efficiency in its emergency department by having an average wait time, with patients typically seen and treated within 2-3 hours. Importantly, the hospital excels in treating conditions like pneumonia, resulting in fewer readmissions for patients.
