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.

100% commitment to patients, amazing teamwork, not feeling alone, always room for improvement.
Always recommend Covenant. Excellent care, praised by patients and family members. Chose to work here due to great teamwork.
Covenant has strong values, motto is 'everyone matters', and aims to provide the best care for every individual.
Emanuel is the best hospital for all healthcare needs; I send my own family here.
Overall care is great, but challenging due to new nurses and grads. More knowledge needed, experience is key.
Overall feeling: Hospital care could be better post-pandemic; budget issues lead to cheaper supplies; core staff underappreciated; travel nurses given better incentives.
Understaffed, heavy workload, quality of care affected, delayed meals, inability to turn patients, delayed bathing, less attention given.
Would not recommend Kaiser Sunnyside Med Surg due to concerns about union page and staffing numbers.
Satisfactory care for minor issues, but understaffed - patients need to advocate for themselves.

It's really good, my favorite. Nurses take patient care seriously, collaborate, monitor fetal heart rate, prioritize concerns, and include patients in decision-making.
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:
Summa Health System has an average overall patient satisfaction rating. However, one area of concern is the long ER wait time, with patients waiting for an average of over 3 hours to be seen and treated. Additionally, the hospital does not perform well in treating conditions such as heart attacks and pneumonia, leading to patients having to return to the hospital for further treatment. It is important for consumers to consider these factors when evaluating the quality of care at Summa Health System.
