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 zip code 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 monthly snapshots of the number of enrollments by zip code in the New York State Donate Life Registry beginning in September 2008. 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, please visit https://donatelife.ny.gov/.
