Homelessness and Hospital Use 

April 25, 2024, 8 a.m. ET 

People experiencing homelessness have greater needs for health care than the general population, yet hospitals and health systems lack comprehensive data on this patient population. This release highlights the utility of a readily available yet underutilized clinical code to identify patients experiencing homelessness. We describe demographic, clinical and hospital use characteristics of patients identified with this code. We also compare the demographic characteristics of hospital patients experiencing homelessness with information on characteristics obtained from 3 non-hospital data sources.
