The primary purpose for the Provider Network Data System is to collect data needed to evaluate the provider networks including physicians, hospitals, labs, home health agencies, durable medical equipment providers, etc., for all types of health plans in New York State. Beginning in 2017, the PNDS includes Medicaid Managed Care (MMC), HIV Special Need Plans (SNP), Health and Recovery Plans (HARP), Child Health Plus (CHP), Programs of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE), Non-PACE Managed Long-Term Care (MLTC) plans, Qualified Health Plans (QHP), Essential Plans (EP), and commercial plans (commercial plan reporting will be incomplete until Q2 2017). This dataset reflects individual provider data. Provider Network Data System information is self-reported by health plans.

The Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System (SPARCS) Inpatient De-identified downloadable 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.

New York State Baby Names are aggregated and displayed by the year, county or borough where the mother resided as stated on a New York State or New York City (NYC) birth certificate. The frequency of the Baby Name is listed if there are 5 or more of the same baby name in a county outside of NYC, or 10 or more of the same baby name in a NYC borough.

This map contains information on the adult life stage collection and testing results of blacklegged ticks (most commonly seen in fall and late winter/early spring) from various locations across New York State. These ticks were tested in “pools”, groups of up to ten ticks per sample, for the human pathogen Powassan virus, also known as Deer tick virus. This map helps generate awareness on the tick populations that had pools that tested positive for Powassan virus.

The data presented here also depicts the number of sites sampled per county, as well as the total number of ticks tested. Both tick density and pathogen infection percentage can vary greatly within a very small area, and definitely vary widely within a county. Therefore, these data should not be used to broadly predict disease risk for a larger or smaller area, such as for the county or the town. They should be used simply to educate that there is a risk to ticks and tick-borne diseases.

Further below on this page you can find links to the Department of Health tick prevention page, a video link on how to safely remove a tick should it attach, and a link to a list of county health departments.

This dataset provides the results from collecting and testing nymph deer ticks, also known as blacklegged ticks, or by their scientific name Ixodes scapularis. 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.

Nymph deer ticks are tested in “pools”, or groups of up to ten adult ticks per pool, for the Powassan virus, also known as Deer tick virus. These data should simply be used to educate people that there is a risk of coming in contact with ticks and tick-borne diseases.

These data only provide nymph tick minimum infection rates at a precise location and at one point in time. Both measures, tick population density and minimum infection percentages, 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.

Adult deer ticks are individually tested for different bacteria and parasites, which includes the bacteria responsible for Lyme disease. These data should simply be used to educate people that there is a risk of coming in contact with ticks and tick-borne diseases.

These data only provide adult tick infections at a precise location and at one point in time. Both measures, tick population density and percentage, of ticks infected with the specified bacteria or parasite 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.

The Student Weight Status Category Reporting System (SWSCR) collects weight status category data (underweight, healthy weight, overweight or obese, based on BMI-for-age percentile). The dataset includes separate estimates of the percent of students overweight, obese and overweight or obese for all reportable grades within the county and/or region and by grade groups (elementary and middle/high).

This dataset represents self‐reported performance data by HIV ambulatory care programs. All HIV ambulatory programs throughout New York State with a significant HIV caseload (a total caseload of at least 30 HIV‐infected patients receiving ambulatory HIV care at one or more sites) are expected to self‐report their annual quality of care performance data using standardized submission tools and methodologies. With the assistance of the online eHIVQUAL application, performance data results are instantly available to HIV programs, allowing them to immediately utilize their data findings to prioritize upcoming quality activities, and are available for generating benchmarking reports across New York State.
