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:
According to the CMS HCAHPS patient ratings and quality data, Allen Parish Hospital demonstrates a level of quality care that warrants attention. In terms of mortality rates, the hospital is on par with the average, implying that patients receive a satisfactory level of care. Notably, the hospital excels in providing prompt emergency services, as indicated by their consistently low ER wait and treatment time, which falls below 2 hours. However, it is essential to acknowledge the hospital's ongoing challenges concerning infection rates, suggesting a need for improvement in this area. Through a comprehensive evaluation of these factors, consumers can make informed decisions about their healthcare choices.
