SEP-1 compliance is lower in hospitals caring for greater numbers of socioeconomically disadvantaged patients. SSI Percent is the proportion of a hospital’s Medicare patients who also receive social security income payments. The relationship between socioeconomic factors and SEP-1 compliance is particularly evident in hospitals not affiliated with health systems and in smaller hospitals. Vertical line represents cutoff between 3rd and 4th quartiles of SSI indicator. Hospitals to the right of the vertical line are designated as safety-net hospitals in the categorical analysis. Results adjusted for hospital SEP-1 case volume, bed size, ownership, teaching status, and rurality.
