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.
Overall, the nurse feels the hospital has good quality of care, a strong sense of family, and knowledge of each other. However, some departments are stronger than others, with the ER currently being the weakest.
Amazing care, amazing staff. Great discussions with physicians. High level of care and attention. Unable to do certain procedures.
Overall, good job, caring nurses, lack of medical oversight impacting care quality.
Limited services, specialized areas best, but not for having a baby due to lack of maternity specialist.
Emergency Dept recommended for better care, floor nurses less welcoming due to heavy patient load.
Trust the quality of care, feel safe here receiving treatment in our hospital.
Unsafe, understaffed, business-focused. Recommend the Plaza, better care, staffing ratios the same, residents, fellows, attending physicians at Barnes Jewish.
Quality is good at times, but staffing issues are decreasing overall care quality.

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:
Carlinville Area Hospital performs at an average level in terms of measured mortality rates, and patients can expect an average wait time in the emergency room, with an average of 2-3 hours for assessment and treatment. The hospital demonstrates proficiency in effectively treating conditions such as pneumonia, reducing the likelihood of patients needing to return for further care.
