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:
Sanford Worthington Medical Center demonstrates high overall patient satisfaction based on CMS HCAHPS patient ratings and quality data. Patients expressed positivity regarding the hospital's cleanliness. In terms of mortality rates, the hospital falls within the average range across all measured areas. Additionally, the hospital maintains an average emergency room wait time, with patients typically seen and treated within 2-3 hours. Notably, Sanford Worthington Medical Center excels in effectively treating conditions such as heart failure, reducing the need for patients to return to the hospital. However, the hospital faces challenges in maintaining low infection rates.
