Disparities in COVID-19 Hospitalizations

COVID-19 impacted communities disproportionately. Especially in the early days of the pandemic, countless reports of inequitable access to treatments and treatment pathways brought to light existing and new disparities in health outcomes. Addressing health equity is a critical component of Truveta’s vision of saving lives with data. One of the first steps to addressing disparities is to learn more. The Truveta Research team sought to understand:

• Who is most impacted?
• How do differences in access, treatment or outcomes present?
• Did the differences persist before and/or throughout the pandemic?
• Or were there different timeframes that exacerbated the disparities?
