BackgroundRacial and ethnic minority groups often face worse patient experiences compared with the general population, which is directly related to poorer health outcomes within these minority populations. Evaluation of patient experience among racial and ethnic minority groups has been difficult due to lack of representation in traditional health care surveys.

Patient experience tweets included discussions related to care received in a hospital, urgent care, or any other health institution.
