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.

Definitely recommend loved ones to receive care
Good care, but staffing needs improvement; still comfortable with family coming here.
Quality is good at times, but staffing issues are decreasing overall care quality.
Nurses stretched thin, skimping on personalized care. Admit for general issues, but if acutely ill, things might get missed. Ship loved ones elsewhere.

Quality of care is average to above average.
Decent quality of care in our hospital.
Perform high-quality care, but expect long wait times. Nice ICU, good team of physicians, surgeons, and providers. Overall, really good job.

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:
Legacy Salmon Creek Medical Center has received high overall patient satisfaction ratings according to the CMS HCAHPS patient ratings and quality data. The hospital has maintained an average performance in all measured mortality rates. However, it is worth noting that the hospital experiences a longer than average emergency room wait time, with patients waiting for over 3 hours on average to be seen and treated.
