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.

Hospitals aren't what you think they are, the reality is quite complex.
Care is satisfactory; quality can vary depending on nurse and unit, but we genuinely strive for the best despite challenges.

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:
Salina Surgical Hospital has received overall high patient satisfaction ratings, indicating a positive experience for patients. Nurses at the hospital have been commended for their excellent communication with patients. Additionally, the staff has been recognized for their prompt response to patient needs and their ability to cater to these needs efficiently. Patients have expressed satisfaction with the cleanliness of the hospital. It is noteworthy to mention that the hospital's mortality rates align with the average for similar facilities. However, the hospital faces challenges in managing infection rates, which is an area for improvement.
