Racial Inequalities in Pediatric Hospice Care
Latremouille G, Anderson K, Herbst L, Whitford B, Nee K · Journal of Pain & Symptom Management · 2025
Racial disparities within palliative care related to both quality of care and access to care are well-documented across inpatient, outpatient, and home-based settings, including in pediatrics. There has been a call to action to examine these ongoing inequities on a systems-based level. Home-based healthcare workers are one of the highest groups at risk for workplace injuries, and one hospital system has introduced a method to protect healthcare workers through escort requirements based on neighborhood crime statistics. The aim of this project is to evaluate the existence of systemic racism within pediatric hospice care services as a result of safety measures employed by this program.
