This dataset includes Medicaid Managed Care, Commercial HMO, and Commercial PPO performance data from the Quality Assurance Reporting Requirements (QARR) by member demographic characteristics. QARR is largely based on measures of quality developed and published by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS®). Plans are required to submit quality performance data each year. Demographic information analyzed in this report includes members’ sex, age, race/ethnicity, Medicaid aid category, cash assistance status, behavioral health conditions including serious mental illness (SMI) and substance use disorder (SUD), payer status, and region of residence. Measuring the quality of care, and the ability to measure disparities in care is an important first step to a better understanding of the underlying factors that drive differences in care among certain populations within Medicaid Managed Care, Commercial HMO, and Commercial PPO.

These data are published annually for Medicaid Managed Care in the Health Care Disparities in New York State Report and on the NYSDOH web site: http://www.health.ny.gov/health_care/managed_care/reports/quality_performance_improvement.htm#link6

The dataset contains counts, rates, and measures of association between select risk factors and administratively identified maternal sepsis among live births during the pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum windows between 2016 and 2018.

Maternal sepsis is a leading cause of maternal mortality in the United States and is associated with increased rates of preterm labor, preterm delivery and fetal infection and maternal chronic pain and fertility problems.

Live births were identified from administrative coding of SPARCS acute care hospital claims between January 1, 2016 and December 31, 2018. Sepsis events were identified from SPARCS claims linked to these live birth events through a maternal identifier and occurring during pregnancy, delivery or within 42 days postpartum. Counts, rates, and measures of association are calculated within each of these thee windows separately.

Sepsis events are quantified for ‘Any Sepsis’ and ‘Severe Sepsis/Septic Shock’ (a subset of ‘Any Sepsis’).

Risk factors are captured using administrative coding from all SPARCS claims data available for each live birth during pregnancy or delivery, or from a linked birth certificate, when available.

Counts, rates, and measures of association are presented for each risk factor and maternal sepsis in the specified window for all eligible statewide live births between 2016 and 2018.

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.

The Wadsworth Center Rabies Laboratory collects submission data for all of New York State, except New York City. For more than a decade, the Wadsworth Center Rabies Laboratory has published monthly reports and a more comprehensive annual report as open access data. The purpose of these reports is to provide data to local health departments and federal agencies that may help in funding decisions, oral rabies vaccination strategies, and collaboration among agencies.

Additionally, it provides the public, including veterinarians and medical health professionals, with detailed information about the rabies virus in New York State.

This dataset contains the registration status of each Licensed Home Care Services Agency (LHCSA) in New York State for calendar year 2023. Each LHCSA must register with the New York State Department of Health annually in order to provide services, bill, and avoid paying a fine.
