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:
Ocean Medical Center is a healthcare facility that delivers an average overall patient satisfaction. It demonstrates average performance across all measured mortality rates, reflecting a standard level of care provided to patients. The hospital maintains an average emergency room (ER) wait time, with patients typically being seen and treated within 2-3 hours. However, there may be room for improvement as the hospital does not excel in the treatment of conditions such as pneumonia, resulting in a higher likelihood of patients requiring readmission.
