Patient age, sex, and self-reported race and ethnicity and language were abstracted from Epic. Income was approximated using the median income by ZIP code from 2019 census data. Distance was measured “as-the-crow” flies from the patient’s home address to the CHOP main hospital building. Patients were grouped based on the encounter types they had during the study periods. P values were generated by ANOVA or chi-squared tests where appropriate. Note that these numbers do not equal the total encounters because some patients were seen multiple times.
