This is one of two datasets that contain observed and expected rates for Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality Prevention Quality Indicators – Adult (AHRQ PQI) beginning in 2009. This dataset is at the county level. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) Prevention Quality Indicators (PQIs) are a set of population based measures that can be used with hospital inpatient discharge data to identify ambulatory care sensitive conditions. These are conditions where 1) the need for hospitalization is potentially preventable with appropriate outpatient care, or 2) conditions that could be less severe if treated early and appropriately. All PQIs apply only to adult populations (over the age of 18 years). The rates were calculated using Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System (SPARCS) inpatient data and Claritas population information.

The observed rates and expected rates for each AHRQ PQI is presented by either resident county (including a statewide total) or resident zip code (including a statewide total).

The map shows the addresses of NYS school districts. Each school district is color coded according to the percentage of enrolled students current school year that were fully immunized.

All schools, excluding New York City public schools, have reported the immunization status of all students in grades kindergarten through 12. When a school submits the survey data, it is a snap shot of the immunization status of the students at the time the survey is completed.
New York City public schools report the immunization status of all students via the Automate the Schools system (ATS). The New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene provides the aggregate data by district to the New York State Department of Health. For more information, check out: http://www.health.ny.gov/prevention/immunization.

Article 40 facilities are hospices. The data for the remaining facility types will be added in the future. While the NYS Department of Health makes every effort to post accurate and reliable information, it does not guarantee or warrant that the information in this dataset is complete, accurate or up-to-date.

This map displays information about registered cooling towers within New York State. The data is self-reported by owners/property managers of cooling towers in service in New York State. In August 2015 the New York State Department of Health released emergency regulations requiring the owners of cooling towers to register them with New York State, in addition the regulation includes requirements: regular inspection; annual certification; obtaining and implementing a maintenance plan; record keeping; reporting of certain information; and sample collection and culture testing to protect public health. All cooling towers in New York State, including New York City, need to be registered in the NYS system. Registration is done through an electronic database found at: www.ny.gov/services/register-cooling-tower-and-submit-reports.

The Cancer Mapping data consists of counts of newly diagnosed cancer among New York State residents and is in response to legislation regarding "Cancer incidence and environmental facility maps" signed into law in 2010 (Public Health Law §2401-B). The law specifies the publication of maps showing cancer counts for small geographic areas along with certain facilities regulated by the State Department of Environmental Conservation. The official web site is called Environmental Facilities and Cancer Mapping.

The dataset is ONLY for the cancer-related data fields on the Environmental Facilities and Cancer Mapping web site. This dataset includes observed counts for 23 separate anatomical sites at the level of census block group. Block groups are small geographic areas typically averaging 1,000 to 1,500 people. To protect confidentiality, each area contains a minimum of 6 total cancers among males and 6 total cancers among females.
