Comparing Social Needs of Readmitted and Non‐Readmitted Paediatric Patients at a Free‐Standing Children's Hospital

In this study, readmission status was not linked to a higher proportion of any individual social need or average number of needs; however, more than 25% of all patients had one or more needs. This suggests the importance of screening during all admissions, as hospitalization provides an opportunity to address needs for those who may not have consistent access to health care.
