Understanding the hospital safety net
Patients at SNHs were more likely to receive non-curative treatment independent of known socioeconomic risk factors. Private insurance or treatment at academic centers did not mitigate these disparities. Increased resources may be needed at SNHs, especially in the context of healthcare expansion, which may further strain these facilities.
