In the article that appeared on page 323 of the October/December 2012 issue, the incorrect abstract was printed. The abstract that should have been printed follows:

This study identified challenges faced by a healthcare safety net system. Surveys of safety net outpatient clinic and hospital emergency department (ED) facilities and key informant interviews ascertained barriers to providing necessary client services and strategies to overcome them. About 60% of key informants responded thatMedicaid cuts greatly increased the numbers of uninsured clients. The outpatient clinic and ED personnel reported that the capacity of providers to care for these increasing numbers of uninsured was primarily strained by limited referral resources for needed specialty care. The most commonly cited successful coping strategies for clinics were networking and partnering.

The authors regret the error.
