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.

Depends on reason for care, aware of patient needs, advise against if necessary care not provided, multiple factors involved.
Very comfortable for family in ER, but strongly urge going somewhere else for higher level of care.
Emergency Dept recommended for better care, floor nurses less welcoming due to heavy patient load.
Better care in ICU/critical care, new grads in med/surg, low staffing ratios affect quality of care.
Highly recommend hospital, especially cardiology department. Shortage of staff, but not as dire as it seems.
Good care, recommend St. Luke's for accommodating patients, no discharge without proper follow-up.

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:
Yalobusha General Hospital's quality of care, as reflected in the CMS HCAHPS patient ratings and quality data, reveals some notable points. Firstly, based on the available data, the hospital demonstrates average performance across all measured mortality rates. Additionally, the hospital faces challenges in managing infection rates, which were found to be comparatively high. These factors suggest that Yalobusha General Hospital may have opportunities for improvement in certain areas of patient care.
