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:
Scotland Memorial Hospital provides average overall patient satisfaction, offering quality care while continuously working on improvements. The hospital maintains average mortality rates in all measured areas, ensuring patient safety and well-being. However, there is room for improvement in reducing wait times in the emergency room. On average, patients await over 3 hours for complete evaluation and treatment. Scotland Memorial Hospital excels in managing conditions such as heart failure, effectively minimizing the need for patients to return for further treatment. However, for pneumonia cases, the hospital has room to enhance their approach, as patients sometimes require readmission. Additionally, the hospital faces challenges regarding infection rates, necessitating additional measures to address this concern.
