Journal Article
The impact of race on choice of location for elective surgical care in New York city
2020
Overview
The “white-flight” phenomenon of the mid-20th century contributed to the perpetuation of residential segregation in American society. In light of recent reports of racial segregation in our healthcare system, could a contemporary “white-flight” phenomenon also exist?
The New York Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System was used to identify all Manhattan and Bronx residents of New York city who underwent elective cardiothoracic, colorectal, general, and vascular surgeries from 2010 to 2016. Primary outcome was borough of surgical care in relation to patient’s home borough. Multivariable analyses were performed.
White patients who reside in the Bronx are significantly more likely than racial minorities to travel into Manhattan for elective surgical care, and these differences persist across different insurance types, including Medicare.
Marked race-based differences in choice of location for elective surgical care exist in New York city. If left unchecked, these differences can contribute to furthering racial segregation within our healthcare system.
•Race-based differences in choice of location for surgical care exist in New York city.•These differences persist across different insurance types, to include Medicare.•If unchecked, they could contribute to furthering racial segregation in health care.
