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 Byrd Regional 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.
Excellent handling of stroke patients in the Emergency Department, but delays and lower quality care in med-surg floors.
Depends on reason for care, aware of patient needs, advise against if necessary care not provided, multiple factors involved.
The hospital is okay, not too bad, but challenging due to frequent staff turnover, particularly in the ED.
Recommended for cardiac events, but limitations in resources can cause delays, particularly for non-cardiac cases. Top-rated for cardiac care in Kansas City.
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.
Hospitals aren't what you think they are, the reality is quite complex.
Unsafe, understaffed, business-focused. Recommend the Plaza, better care, staffing ratios the same, residents, fellows, attending physicians at Barnes Jewish.
"Not recommended. Quality of care lacking, unsure if due to younger/newer staff or specific training."

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:
Byrd Regional Hospital has achieved high overall patient satisfaction, with patients reporting that the staff is responsive and efficient in meeting their needs. The hospital maintains an average performance in all measured mortality rates. Notably, the hospital demonstrates a low ER wait and treatment time of less than 2 hours, ensuring prompt care. Byrd Regional Hospital also excels in treating conditions such as pneumonia, reducing the need for patients to return for further hospitalization. However, it is important to note that the hospital faces challenges in controlling infection rates.
