Abstract
The undercurrent of racial disparities in healthcare is undeniable and remains pervasive despite concerted efforts to mitigate disparities in outcomes. This is well documented in a number of areas including access to care, pain management, as well as the evaluation and management of chest pain. The latest findings from the STOP-CP cohort study call attention yet again to an apparent gap in care between White and non-White patients in the ED evaluation of chest pain. While this is concerning, it also highlights an important question for us as clinicians to reflect upon. How do we interpret and assess disparities in clinical evaluation NOT seemingly associated with downstream disparities in outcomes?
