This dataset includes information at the report date level on patients admitted for inpatient care to the hospital that are lab-confirmed COVID-19 positive. Admitted means that the patient was newly admitted to the hospital or was confirmed positive after admission. Gender information became available for COVID-19 admissions as of May 2, 2020. Hospitalized means patients admitted as inpatients in either inpatient or observation beds and does not include patients that were treated and released from an Emergency Department. The title of this dataset was initially the Hospital Electronic Response Data System (HERDS) Hospital Survey: COVID-19 Admissions by Gender. The dataset was changed to its current title on 11/4/2021.

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

This dataset includes nursing home and adult care facility reported information of resident and staff COVID-19 vaccination status for each facility by each week.

The information in this dataset is updated weekly.

This dataset includes information on school reported COVID-19 testing and case positive data from the 2021-2022 academic year. Data was collected from private schools on each operational day using the daily school survey form, which school administrators access by logging in to the NYSDOH school survey website.

The primary goal of publishing this dataset is to provide users timely information about disease spread and reporting of positive cases within schools. The data will be updated daily, reflecting data submitted by school administrators the previous day.

This dataset provides the results from collecting and testing adult 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 October to December, when adult deer ticks are most commonly seen.

Adult 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 adult tick minimum infection rates at a precise location and at a 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.

Further below on this page you can find links to tick prevention tips, a video on how to safely remove a tick, and more datasets with tick testing results. Interactive charts and maps provide an easier way to view the data.

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. For more information see: http://www.health.ny.gov/statistics/brfss/

Sepsis is defined as a clinical syndrome in which patients have an infection that is accompanied by an extreme systemic response. Sepsis of sufficient severity that the function of major organ systems in the body (such as heart, kidney, brain, and others) is impaired is referred to as “severe sepsis.” Patients with severe sepsis that have continued organ system impairment and/or low blood pressure that does not respond to treatment with adequate fluid replacement are considered to be in “septic shock.” The combination of early detection of sepsis coupled with timely, appropriate interventions can significantly improve the chances of survival for patients with all types of sepsis.

The datasets contain hospital-level treatment measures and hospital-level risk-adjusted mortality rates for adult patients, with a diagnosis of severe sepsis or septic shock seen at New York State Article 28 (acute care) facilities and reported to the New York State Department of Health in 2015 and 2016.

The treatment measures and risk adjusted mortality rates are presented by hospital. Only hospital level measure data for which there were at least ten cases in the denominator is reported. Statewide measures are calculated using all hospitals, regardless of the number of sepsis cases treated.

This dataset represents hospital-reported data for all adult patients with a diagnosis of severe sepsis or septic shock seen at New York State Article 28 (acute care) facilities and reported to the New York State Department of Health. Quality measures are calculated using this data for reporting hospital-specific rates and trends. The Adult New York State sepsis process of care measures were developed using a National Quality Forum (NQF) measure for guidance: NQF #500 Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock: Management Bundle. These measures, reported as statewide and hospital-specific rates, reflect several key processes of care that can increase the probability of surviving an episode of sepsis. There is one important outcome measure, mortality, included in this dataset for which statewide mortality rates and hospital-specific risk adjusted mortality rates are reported.

This dataset contains the registration status of each Licensed Home Care Services Agency (LHCSA) in New York State for calendar year 2020. Each LHCSA must register with the New York State Department of Health annually in order to provide services, bill, and avoid paying a fine.

This dataset includes information on school reported COVID-19 testing and case positive data from the 2020-2021 academic year. Data was collected from K-12 public, private and charter schools and BOCES programs on each operational day using the daily school survey form, which school administrators accessed by logging in to the NYSDOH school survey website.

The primary goal of publishing this dataset is to provide users timely information about disease spread and reporting of positive cases within schools.

Note: This dataset is no longer updated. This dataset includes cumulative and weekly counts of the number of new COVID-19 cases reported, number of cases reached, percent cases reached, total contacts elicited, total elicited contacts reached, and percent contacts reached by each week. Please note: In the earlier days of the program, the number of cases represented the numbers reported by selected LHDs. Therefore, the volume could be much lower than all new COVID cases.

Note: Data elements were retired from HERDS on 10/6/23 and this dataset was archived.

This dataset includes weekly information about race/ethnicity categories and age groups of patients admitted for inpatient care to the hospital that are lab-confirmed COVID-19 positive.

The individual Provider Network Data displays information on individuals participating in health plan networks from July through September, 2018.
