Language Serving Hospitals and their Impact on Readmission for Surgical Patients with a Non-English Primary Language
Surgical patients with NEPL at LSH were less likely to be readmitted than those at non-LSH. Given that LSH care for more patients with NEPL, they may be better equipped to serve a linguistically diverse population. Elucidating the reasons for readmission rate differences between LSH and non-LSH could inform surgical care for patients with NEPL at all hospitals.
