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 Copiah County Medical Center 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.
Overall, the nurse feels the hospital has good quality of care, a strong sense of family, and knowledge of each other. However, some departments are stronger than others, with the ER currently being the weakest.
Very good care, small hospital, limited services, up-to-date facilities
Depends on reason for care, aware of patient needs, advise against if necessary care not provided, multiple factors involved.
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.
Exceptional compassion towards patients and families. Highly recommend St. Joseph hospital for loved ones, dedicated to addressing concerns.
Good care, recommend St. Luke's for accommodating patients, no discharge without proper follow-up.
Quality of care is average to above average.
Quality is good at times, but staffing issues are decreasing overall care quality.

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:
and below average in all measured readmission rates compared to the national average. Additionally, the hospital received above average ratings in the overall hospital rating and overall hospital experience categories according to CMS HCAHPS patient ratings. Copiah County Medical Center demonstrates acceptable quality of care, with comparable mortality rates but lower readmission rates compared to the national average, and generally positive patient experiences based on the ratings.
