The Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System (SPARCS) Inpatient De-identified File contains discharge level detail on patient characteristics, diagnoses, treatments, services, and charges.

This data file contains basic record level detail for the discharge. The de-identified data file does not contain data that is protected health information (PHI) under HIPAA. The health information is not individually identifiable; all data elements considered identifiable have been redacted. For example, the direct identifiers regarding a date have the day and month portion of the date removed.

The Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) is an annual statewide telephone surveillance system designed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). BRFSS monitors modifiable risk behaviors and other factors contributing to the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the population. New York State's BRFSS sample represents the non-institutionalized adult household population, aged 18 years and older. Although the overall number of respondents in the BRFSS is more than sufficiently large for statistical inference purposes, subgroup analyses can lead to estimates that are unreliable. Interpreting and reporting weighted numbers that are based on a small, unweighted number of respondents can mislead the reader into believing that a given finding is much more precise than it actually is. The BRFSS follows a rule of not reporting or interpreting percentages based upon a denominator of fewer than 50 respondents (unweighted sample). Both a csv and sas data files are available.

The Nursing Home Cost Report (RHCF) is a uniform report completed by New York nursing homes to report income, expenses, assets, liabilities, and statistics to the Department of Health (DOH). Under DOH regulations (Part 86-2.2), nursing homes are required to file financial and statistical data with DOH annually. The data filed is part of the cost report and is received electronically through a secured network. This data is used to develop Medicaid rates, assist in the formulation of reimbursement methodologies, and analyze trends.

This dataset includes information on all positive tests of individuals for COVID-19 infection performed in New York State beginning March 1, 2020, when the first case of COVID-19 was identified in the state. The primary goal of publishing this dataset is to provide users timely information about local disease spread and COVID-19 case rates by age group. The data will be updated weekly, reflecting tests reported by 12:00 AM three days prior to the date of the update.

Total positives includes both PCR and antigen positive test results.

Note: This is an updated version of the statewide cases by age dataset that includes all reported cases, both first infections and reinfections. An archived version of the prior dataset, which includes only first infections, is available: https://health.data.ny.gov/d/h8ay-wryy

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) for calendar year 2015. 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).

This dataset contains Potentially Avoidable Antibiotic Prescribing observed and risk-adjusted rates for child Medicaid enrollees by provider county beginning in 2010.

Potentially Avoidable Antibiotic Prescriptions are antibiotic prescriptions filled for the treatment of acute respiratory infections for which antibiotics are not indicated, contributing to bacterial drug resistance. Index visits for acute respiratory infections and corresponding prescription fills were identified through the use of previously published methods.

The rates were calculated using Medicaid outpatient claims and encounters, and prescription drug data.

The observed and risk adjusted rates are presented by provider county (including a statewide total).

This interactive chart provides the average number of nymph deer ticks, also known as blacklegged ticks, or by their scientific name Ixodes scapularis, collected per 1,000 meters sampled in the county (tick population density). Use the filters below to compare counties by year.

Collection and testing take place across New York State (excluding New York City) from May to September, when nymph deer ticks are most commonly seen. Tick population density can vary greatly within a very small area and within a county. These data should not be used to broadly predict disease risk for a county.These data should simply be used to educate people that there is a risk of coming in contact with ticks and tick-borne diseases.
