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:
According to the CMS HCAHPS patient ratings and quality data, Baptist Memorial Hospital Desoto demonstrates various areas of concern in terms of the quality of care provided to patients. Overall patient satisfaction is notably low, and patients have reported significant challenges regarding staff responsiveness to their needs. Additionally, patients have expressed concerns about the cleanliness of the hospital. The hospital also experiences lengthy emergency room wait times, with an average wait of over 3 hours before patients are seen and treated. Furthermore, the hospital does not effectively treat conditions such as heart attacks, heart failure, and pneumonia, leading to a higher likelihood of patients returning to the hospital. Likewise, the hospital faces difficulties in maintaining low infection rates.
