A UC Berkeley School of Public Health study found disparities in patient care and heart failure readmissions between Black and white patients.
While Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center succeeded at reducing its readmission rate for heart failure through its quality improvement program, the disparity persisted between white and Black patients’ readmission rates for heart failure, according to study co-author and campus public health graduate student Morrise Richardson.
The study was initially completed as a project for a qualitative improvement course Richardson took in fall 2019 to complete the public health graduate program but was then published in the independent publishing company Mary Ann Liebert, Inc.
