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.

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.

*Due to COVID-19 impacts, measures requiring hybrid review are not included in this dataset for year 2019.

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

The dataset contains administratively identified maternal sepsis observed event counts and rates related to live births during the pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum windows by patient county and demographics 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 and rates are calculated within each of these thee windows separately, and also combined.

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

Counts and observed rates are presented by the patient county of residence reported on the live birth claim (including a statewide total) and select maternal demographics.

The Nursing Homes Profiles quality data provides a consumer-friendly product that allows patients and their families to understand how the New York State Nursing Homes perform within five specific domains of care and overall. The domains (Preventive Care, Quality of Care, Quality of Life, Resident Safety and Resident Status) encompass twenty-four different quality measures. A Domain Rating assesses performance over all the measures within that domain, with 5 stars indicating the highest performance and 1 star the lowest performance. The Overall Rating is a normalized star rating based on the Nursing Homes' performance across the five domains. The normalization of the Overall Rating resets the distribution, with the highest performing Nursing Homes across all the domains having 5 stars and the lowest performing Nursing Homes across the five domains having 1 star. New York’s Nursing Home Domain Rating differs from CMS’ 5-star rating in data reporting period and in methodology.

This map shows the total incentive payments disbursed to Eligible Professionals (EPs) and Eligible Hospitals (EHs) by county beginning in 2011, through the NY Medicaid Electronic Health Records (EHR) Incentive Program, a CMS Promoting Interoperability Program. The darker shading represents the counties that have received the most payments.
Authorized by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009, this program provides multi-year financial incentives to EPs and EHs who adopt, implement, or upgrade, and subsequently demonstrate meaningful use, of Certified Electronic Health Record Technology (CEHRT).

This dataset includes the cumulative number and percent of healthcare facility-reported fatalities for patients with lab-confirmed COVID-19 disease by reporting date and patient sex. This dataset does not include fatalities related to COVID-19 disease that did not occur at a hospital, nursing home, or adult care facility. The primary goal of publishing this dataset is to provide users with information about healthcare facility fatalities among patients with lab-confirmed COVID-19 disease.

The information in this dataset is also updated daily on the NYS COVID-19 Tracker at https://www.ny.gov/covid-19tracker.

The data source for this dataset is the daily COVID-19 survey through the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) Health Electronic Response Data System (HERDS). Hospitals, nursing homes, and adult care facilities are required to complete this survey daily. The information from the survey is used for statewide surveillance, planning, resource allocation, and emergency response activities. Hospitals began reporting for the HERDS COVID-19 survey in March 2020, while Nursing Homes and Adult Care Facilities began reporting in April 2020. It is important to note that fatalities related to COVID-19 disease that occurred prior to the first publication dates are also included.

The fatality numbers in this dataset are calculated by summing the patient fatalities by patient sex, as of each reporting date. The statewide total fatality numbers are calculated by summing the number of fatalities across all patient sexes, by reporting date. The fatality percentages are calculated by dividing the number of fatalities in each patient sex by the statewide total number of fatalities, by reporting date. The fatality numbers represent the cumulative number of fatalities that have been reported as of each reporting date.

This dataset is a subset of the list of active Medicaid Fee-for-Service (FFS); Managed Care Only; and Ordering, Prescribing, Referring, Attending (OPRA) providers, specific to Private Duty Nursing providers. Data elements include the provider’s Medicaid Provider ID, NPI, provider or facility name, Medicaid type, profession or service, provider specialty, service address, city, state, zip code, county, telephone number, latitude, longitude, enrollment begin date, next anticipated revalidation date, date the file was extracted from the data warehouse and a Medically Fragile Children and Adults Directory Indicator (only includes providers where indicator is set to “Y”).

Note: This dataset is no longer being updated as of September 1, 2023.
This dataset includes information on the number of 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 reporting of positive cases. The data will be updated daily, reflecting tests completed by 12:00 am (midnight) the day of the update (i.e., all tests reported by the end of the day on the day before the update).

Note: On November 14, 2020, only 14 hours of laboratory data was collected and shared. A 2:00 pm cutoff time was implemented, allowing the NYSDOH to enhance data quality reviews. All other published laboratory data represented 24 hours of data collection.

As of April 4, 2022, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) no longer requires entities conducting COVID testing to report negative or indeterminate antigen test results. This may impact the number and interpretation of total test results reported to the state and also impacts calculation of test percent positivity. Because of this, as of April 5, 2022, test percent positivity is calculated using PCR tests only. Reporting of total new daily cases (positive results) will continue to include PCR and antigen tests.

Reporting of SARS-CoV2 laboratory testing results is mandated under Part 2 of the New York State Sanitary Code. Clinical laboratories, as defined in Public Health Law (PHL) § 571 electronically report test results to the New York State Department of Health (DOH) via the Electronic Clinical Laboratory Reporting System (ECLRS). The DOH Division of Epidemiology’s Bureau of Surveillance and Data System (BSDS) monitors ECLRS reporting and ensures that all positives and negatives are accurate. Starting September 30, 2020, this data also includes pooled/batch tests reported by institutions of higher education. This is also known as surveillance testing and not performed by a clinical laboratory.

Test counts reflect those reported to DOH each day. A person may have multiple specimens tested on one day, these would be counted one time, i.e., if two specimens are collected from an individual at the same time and then evaluated, the outcome of the evaluation of those two samples to diagnose the individual is counted as a single test of one person, even though the specimens may be tested separately. Conversely, if an individual is tested on more than one day, the data will show two tests of an individual, one for each date the person was tested. An individual will only be counted positive one time.

Test counts are assigned to a county based on this order of preference: 1) the patient’s address, 2) the ordering healthcare provider/campus address, or 3) the ordering facility/campus address.
