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:
Baptist Health Paducah consistently receives high overall patient satisfaction ratings. However, it is important to note that the hospital has a relatively long ER wait time, with an average wait of over 3 hours for patients to be seen and treated. On the positive side, Baptist Health Paducah demonstrates exceptional performance in ensuring that patients at the hospital do not contract infections. These facts help consumers understand the quality of care provided at Baptist Health Paducah, allowing them to make informed decisions about their healthcare options.
