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.

Not a very nice hospital, but ER doctors are good. Nursing care can be inconsistent, working on improving.
Safe and compassionate hospital with great nurses and doctors; referred my family there. Patients love how they're treated.
Perform high-quality care, but expect long wait times. Nice ICU, good team of physicians, surgeons, and providers. Overall, really good job.
Lodi is a small, community hospital with personalized care and a well-rounded viewpoint, due to its diverse culture.
Quality of nurses decreased, recommend St. Joseph's, staffing and management issues, struggles on medical-surgical floor, inefficient transfers for neuro patients.
Staffing is inadequate, mostly composed of new grads, and experienced nurses are leaving, raising doubts about their skills.
Don't go to Dameron, policies and processes are not well put together, staff is unhappy, management doesn't pay attention to teams.
Our hospital provides good care with a dedicated nursing staff despite limited resources.
Mostly comfortable, excel in cardiology, majority of hospitalists are excellent, lack expertise in certain specialties, ICU's care and knowledge level needs improvement, young nurses lack experience.

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:
Alaska Regional Hospital has an average overall patient satisfaction as per CMS HCAHPS patient ratings and quality data. The hospital's mortality rates are average for all measured conditions. Patients can expect an average wait time in the emergency room, with a prompt arrival-to-treatment timeframe of approximately 2-3 hours. However, the hospital does not perform well in treating conditions such as heart failure and pneumonia in a way that reduces the likelihood of readmission for patients.
