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:
Cherokee Regional Medical Center demonstrates overall high patient satisfaction. Patients commend the hospital for its excellent nurse communication, prompt response to their needs, and efficient staff in meeting their needs quickly. Cleanliness is also highly regarded by patients. The hospital maintains average performance in all measured mortality rates. Notably, the hospital boasts a low ER wait and treatment time, with most patients being seen and treated within two hours. However, the hospital faces challenges in effectively treating conditions like pneumonia, which unfortunately results in some patients having to return for further care.
