ABSTRACT

The voicing of unsolicited observations by patients and families is a form of participation in the health care system. We investigated whether visits by patients of different race/ethnicities were equally represented in unsolicited complaints filed with a medical center’s Office of Patient Affairs (OPA) regarding pediatric emergency visits.
