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.

Fantastic mental health unit, but hesitant to recommend medically.
Hardworking staff, but apparent staffing issues; patients feel rushed, lack downtime, and may have delayed assistance.
Great care, amazing nurses, great doctors, compassionate team - would recommend our hospital to someone I love.
Hospital care poor. Wouldn't recommend. Understaffed. Administration doesn't care. Overwhelming number of patients makes it difficult to provide proper care.
Quality of care comparable to other hospitals in Kansas City, but not my top pick due to staffing issues.
Exceptional nurses, hardworking doctors and staff, top-notch care, multitude of resources, best possible treatment. Very fortunate.
St. Joseph's: kind, helpful, and caring. They treat you like family to help you get well.
Great teamwork, passionate staff, improved care with hospitalists, better communication, accessible doctors, and flexible availability.
Trust the quality of care, well-rounded specialties, great team, concerns about high utilization of LVNs compared to RNs.

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:
Maimonides Medical Center is a healthcare facility that has received low overall patient satisfaction ratings. Patients have expressed challenges with nurse communication and staff responsiveness to their needs. Communication about medications, discharge instructions, and follow-up care has also been reported as challenging. Transitions between departments within the hospital have been marked by significant difficulties. Patients have also raised concerns about the ability to have a quiet rest in the hospital. One notable issue is the hospital's long emergency room wait time, with patients waiting over 3 hours on average to be seen and treated. Additionally, the hospital has not performed well in treating conditions such as heart attacks, heart failure, and pneumonia, resulting in patients needing to return to the hospital. Lastly, the hospital has faced challenges with high infection rates.
