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:
Vassar Brothers Medical Center has an average overall patient satisfaction rating. Patients have reported that the care team can be slow at times in meeting their needs, and the hospital is known for its lengthy ER wait times with an average of over 3 hours for patients to be seen and treated. The hospital does not perform well in treating conditions such as heart failure and pneumonia, resulting in a higher likelihood of patients returning to the hospital. However, Vassar Brothers Medical Center demonstrates exceptional efforts in preventing infections among patients at the hospital.
