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.

Data from the 2013-2014 New York Expanded Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (eBRFSS) Survey and the 2016 and 2018 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System were used to generate percentages of non-institutionalized adult (18+) NYS residents for various health indicators for a range of geographies.

Each dwelling visited by the HNP is classified into one of three periods based on the year it was built: before 1950 (“pre-1950”), built 1950-1978, or built after 1978. These periods relate to the general age of the housing. Older housing can present health and safety hazards to their residents. In addition, these groupings coincide with the presence of lead in paint, a health hazard for young children.
For dwellings visited by the Clinton County HNP, this chart displays the percent of homes built in each period by funding cycle. For example, the first set of bars shows the percent of dwellings that were built before 1950 during each of the 3 funding cycles. We can see that Clinton County has increased the percent of the oldest homes from about 10% in the first funding cycle to almost 30% during the current funding cycle. Looking at the orange bars, we see that during the current funding cycle, Clinton County’s HNP has visited about the same percentage of homes built in each time period.
The counties participating in the Healthy Neighborhoods Program can create this type of chart to view trends in how they are targeting their visits. For example, if a county wants to reach older homes, it may want to refocus its efforts on communities with older housing stock. The "About" tab contains additional details concerning this dataset.

The dataset contains Potentially Preventable Visit (PPV) observed, expected, and risk-adjusted rates for Medicaid beneficiaries by patient county beginning in 2011. The Potentially Preventable Visits (PPV) obtained from software created by 3M Health Information Systems are emergency visits that may result from a lack of adequate access to care or ambulatory care coordination. These ambulatory sensitive conditions could be reduced or eliminated with adequate patient monitoring and follow up.

This dataset includes income eligibility guidelines for participation in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC). The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) offers nutrition education, breastfeeding support, referrals and a variety of nutritious foods to low-income pregnant, breastfeeding, or postpartum women, infants, and children up to age five to promote and support good health.

This chart shows the percentage of population enrolled in the Donate Life Organ and Tissue Donor Registry by year. The registry is a confidential database that records a person’s consent to organ/tissue donation upon death. The database is used by donation professionals to determine a person's donation status at the time of their death. For more information, check out: www.health.ny.gov/donatelife. The "About" tab contains additional details concerning this dataset.

This dataset contains information on selected chronic health conditions in the Medicaid population at the county level. The chronic health conditions were identified through 3M Clinical Risk Group software and Medicaid enrollment/eligibility, encounter, claim and pharmacy data over a 12-month period.

This table displays the quintile cut points for the measures in the NHQI. Please refer to the data dictionary for more information on determining quintile assignments based on the quintile cut points for specific measures. It is possible to calculate the quintile cut points displayed in this table by using the facility-level data in the NHQI data set. Calculating the overall score quintiles from the data set will result in a slight difference in the quintile values due to adjustments to some facilities’ performances. The New York State Nursing Home Quality Initiative (NHQI) is an annual evaluation and ranking of eligible Medicaid-certified nursing homes in New York State. Nursing homes are evaluated on their performance in three components: Quality, Compliance, and Efficiency. Nursing homes are awarded points for their performance in each measure and ranked into overall quintiles, the first quintile containing the best performing homes. Refer to the Measures document to learn more about the specific measures in the NHQI, and the data sources and time frames used. Changes in measure specifications and the deletion or addition of measures will limit the ability to trend this data over time. The quality measures are based on past data and may not accurately reflect a nursing home’s most current quality performance. Refer to the Overview document for more information on the limitations of this dataset. The information in this dataset is intended to be used in conjunction with other sources for assessing quality of care in nursing homes, including in-person visits to a nursing home. The "About" tab contains additional details concerning this dataset.

The dataset contains Potentially Preventable Readmission observed, expected, and risk adjusted rates by hospital for Medicaid enrollees beginning in 2011.

The Managed Long-Term Care (MLTC) performance data is a semi-annual evaluation of New York state-certified MLTC plans. Rates are calculated for each performance measure by plan, and describe their population or assess their quality of care. Plans are evaluated on the quality of care they provide and on enrollees’ satisfaction.

The map shows the addresses of all NYS schools, excluding NYC public schools. The address listed for the schools may be the physical location of the school, a school district address, or an administrative address. Each school is color coded according to the percentage of enrolled students in the current school year that were fully immunized. A flyout with specific information about a school will appear when you hover over a point on the map. More than one school may appear as a single point on the map if the school’s have the same geocoded location. In those cases, a next button will appear within the flyout. To view the immunization data for each school, click next in the flyout. The School Immunization Survey collects aggregate data from schools in New York State regarding the immunization status of all the students attending school. 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.

This chart shows the potentially preventable emergency visit (PPV) risk adjusted rates per 100 for Medicaid beneficiaries by patient county and year. The datasets contain Potentially Preventable Visit (PPV) observed, expected, and risk-adjusted rates for Medicaid beneficiaries by patient county and patient zip code beginning in 2011.

The Potentially Preventable Visits (PPV) obtained from software created by 3M Health Information Systems, are emergency visits that may result from a lack of adequate access to care or ambulatory care coordination. These ambulatory sensitive conditions could be reduced or eliminated with adequate patient monitoring and follow up.

The rates were calculated using Medicaid inpatient and outpatient data for the numerator and Medicaid enrollment in the county or zip code for the denominator.

The observed, expected and risk adjusted rates for PPV are presented by either resident county (including a statewide total) or resident zip code (including a statewide total). For more information, check out: http://www.health.ny.gov/health_care/medicaid/. The "About" tab contains additional details concerning this dataset.

The chart shows risk adjusted Potentially Preventable Readmission rates by hospital for Medicaid enrollees beginning in 2011.
The Potentially Preventable Readmission (PPR) software created by 3M Health Information Systems, identifies hospital admissions clinically related to an initial admission within a specified time period. For this dataset, readmissions were evaluated within a 30-day time period from the discharge date of the initial hospital admission. A PPR may have resulted from a deficiency in the process of care and treatment at the initial hospitalization or lack of post discharge follow up. PPRs are not defined by unrelated events that occur post-discharge, such as admissions for trauma.
For each hospital, the total number of at risk admissions, the total number of observed PPR chains, the observed PPR rate, the expected PPR rate, and risk adjusted PPR rate are presented by year. For more information, check out http://www.health.ny.gov/health_care/medicaid/. The "About" tab contains additional details concerning this dataset.
