Patient experience data lags about 6 months to 1 year, which is based on the date of patient discharge.
That's relatively recent with survey data, which takes time to compile and review.
Surveys are about a year long, so the surveys were done from patients discharged from two years to one year ago.
So there is time to fix the particular hospital, however, there is a huge medical staffing shortage right now, due to illness, retirement, and personal beliefs differing from their employer. So not sure that you are going to get much better without going to a UF Shands in Gainesville, Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, or Cleveland Clinic in Boca, where standards are very high.
Hospital solvency is also a big issue if there isn't a local source of staffing, and traveling staff are used at 2x or 3x the local going rate for employment.
So be careful out there, and there are other areas of FL which have good local healthcare if that is important to you
