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 South Central REG MED CTR 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.
Quality of care is excellent; exceptional care is provided in the women's service line.
Unsafe patient-staff ratio, difficult to provide quality care, steer family away, poor staffing, overcrowded hallways, long wait times, lack of privacy.
Depends on specialty. Not recommended for cardiac care, but top-notch for pediatrics, emergencies, trauma, and mother-baby care.
Decent quality of care, great place for our family, wouldn't hesitate to recommend Olathe.
Definitely recommend having a baby at Olathe Medical Center, L&D is isolated and we don't float.
Depends on specific service. Certain doctors recommended for surgery, others advised against. Limited knowledge on other services. Proud of our small community hospital, but recommend KU campus for oncology.
Truly exceptional care, hardworking team, life-saving efforts, amazing unity.
I believe Centerpoint hospital has been working hard to improve its reputation; I would definitely recommend it.
St. Joseph's is a good hospital despite some unfavorable experiences, with sometimes malfunctioning equipment causing upset amongst patients.

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:
South Central REG MED CTR exhibits an average overall patient satisfaction. With an average ER wait time, patients are seen and treated within a reasonable timeframe of 2-3 hours. However, the hospital falls short in effectively treating conditions like pneumonia, resulting in a higher rate of patients needing to return for further care. On the positive side, South Central REG MED CTR excels in preventing infections, surpassing the average standards in ensuring patients remain infection-free during their stay at the hospital.
