Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Association between SDOH and patient complianceThrough study completion, an average of 1 year

To associate the percentage of patients with self-reported social needs (e.g., social determinants of health) with compliance of IV iron treatments at a large community hospital adult infusion center.

Measurements (social determinants of health) to be explored include: food insecurity, housing instability, utility needs, financial resource strain, transportation challenges, and socio-demographic information. Slightly adapted questions for each measure are derived from the Health Leads Screening Tool, a clinically-validated mechanism for assessing social needs. Questionnaire is structured in a yes/no and Likert scale format.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Patient Perceptions of IV IronThrough study completion, an average of 1 year

To study patient perceptions of IV iron treatment dosing (doses received) and administration rates (infusion time).
