Abstract
Home healthcare (HHC) enables patients to receive health services within their homes. Social determinants of health (SDOH) influence a patient's health and may disproportionately affect patients from racially and ethnically minoritized groups. This study describes differences in SDOH documentation in clinical notes among individuals from different racial or ethnic groups from one HHC agency in the northeastern United States. Compared to White patients, HHC episodes for patients across racially and ethnically minoritized groups had higher frequencies of SDOH documented. Further, our results suggest that race or ethnicity is significantly associated with SDOH documentation.
