Capabilities and supplies scores by healthcare facility location, type, and ownership.  This figure shows SafeCare4Covid score distributions by location of healthcare facilities (A), type of facility (B), and ownership of facilities (C). Box plots visually represent the statistical comparisons described for this group of facilities in the Results section. They show the lower quartile (Q1), the median (Q2, line plotted inside the box), the upper quartile (Q3), and the interquartile range (IQR = Q3 - Q1) of the capabilities and supplies scores. The whiskers show the most extreme data points that are ≤ 1.5 times the IQR from the lower or upper quartile. Dots show the outliers (> 1.5 times the IQR). Since filling in demographic information is optional in the SafeCare4Covid App, not all the locations, types, and ownerships of the 471 facilities are known. Detailed samples sizes for the different groups compared here are described in Table 1
