Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Association between SDOH and patient compliance	Through 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

Measure	Time frame	Description
Patient Perceptions of IV Iron	Through study completion, an average of 1 year	To study patient perceptions of IV iron treatment dosing (doses received) and administration rates (infusion time).
