Key Points Question What is the source of known disparities in outcomes after hospitalization according to patients’ race and socioeconomic status? Findings This cohort study found differences in outcomes by race and neighborhood income, but hospital performance within and between hospitals by patient race and neighborhood income was generally consistent. Meaning There was no evidence that specific hospitals that treated patients from a range of racial and socioeconomic backgrounds contributed to observed disparities after hospitalization, suggesting a systemic effect may be contributory.
