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:
Barnes-Jewish West County Hospital is known for providing high levels of patient satisfaction. According to CMS HCAHPS patient ratings, overall patient satisfaction at the hospital is very high. Patients specifically praised the hospital's nurse communication, reporting excellent communication between patients and nurses. Additionally, patients noted that staff members were responsive and quick in meeting their needs. The hospital's focus on providing prompt care is further highlighted by patients' positive feedback regarding the staff's ability to address their needs quickly. Furthermore, patients appreciated the quiet atmosphere of the hospital. In terms of quality, the hospital's mortality rates are average across all measured categories. However, it is important to note that the hospital faces a challenge in terms of the ER wait time, as patients typically wait for over three hours to be seen and treated. On the bright side, the hospital does a commendable job in preventing infections among patients, demonstrating above-average performance in this area.
