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

Quality of care okay, pretty good. Want my unit.
Care depends on placement and needs. Some units lack kindness and grace, impacting nursing team.
Depends on the patient's needs, but if average mobility, it's good care.
We all go above and beyond to provide the best care. We are truly personable and genuinely care about our patients.
I would feel comfortable receiving treatment here myself. I have confidence in the doctors, nurses, and support staff.
Good care, certain specialties elsewhere. Great hospitalist and pulmonary teams, but for cardiology, go to Covenant. Better ICU team at Midland.
Exceptional teamwork and highly trained staff ensure excellent, high-quality care for our patients in this hospital.
"I absolutely refer people to North Kansas City. Our culture is amazing, they listen, they care, and we are well-staffed."

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.
