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
These comments are not from nurses at Georgetown Community Hospital but are instead nurse comments from hospitals with a similar size and quality ratings for illustration of what feedback from nurses at a hospital of this size and quality might be.
Very comfortable for family in ER, but strongly urge going somewhere else for higher level of care.
Depends on reason for care, aware of patient needs, advise against if necessary care not provided, multiple factors involved.
Very good care, small hospital, limited services, up-to-date facilities
Quality of care good, but understaffed like all hospitals.
Highly recommend hospital, especially cardiology department. Shortage of staff, but not as dire as it seems.
Better care in ICU/critical care, new grads in med/surg, low staffing ratios affect quality of care.
Quality of care is average to above average.
Good care, recommend St. Luke's for accommodating patients, no discharge without proper follow-up.
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:
Georgetown Community Hospital maintains an average overall patient satisfaction rating. The hospital demonstrates average performance across every measured mortality rate. Patients can expect an average emergency room wait time, with an average duration of 2-3 hours for assessment and treatment. However, the hospital faces challenges associated with high infection rates, indicating a need for further improvements in this area.
