Schools will update their information on an ongoing basis as their water sampling progresses and the laboratory analysis results are reported back to them. The points on the map will display detail information as and when it is available.

This column chart illustrates the rates of mental health services by Health Home. The New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) collects annual data on children’s and adults’ use of health services. This information complements the Health Home Quality Measures information collected for the State Plan Amendment (SPA) and Core Set of health care quality measures. Utilization measures are designed to capture the frequency of certain services. NCQA does not view higher or lower services counts as better or worse performance. Please refer to the Overview document for additional information.

This dataset contains measures that evaluate the quality of care delivered by Health Homes for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Core Set and Health Home State Plan Amendment (SPA). To support ongoing assessment of the effectiveness of the Health Home model, the CMS has established a recommended Core Set of health care quality measures that it intends to promulgate in the rulemaking process.
The data used in the Health Home Quality Measures are taken from the following sources:
• Medicaid Data Mart: Claims and encounters data generated from the Medicaid Data Warehouse (MDW).
• QARR Member Level Files: Sample of the health plan eligible member’s quality.
• New York State Delivery System Inform Incentive Program (DSRIP) Data Warehouse: Claims and encounters data generated from the Medicaid Data Warehouse (MDW).

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 Managed Care plans in New York State, including HIV Special Need Plans (SNP), Family Health Plus (FHP) Buy-In, Programs of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE), and Non-PACE Managed Long-Term Care (MLTC) plans.

This dataset reflects institutional provider data.
Provider Network Data System information is self reported. For more information, go to http://www.health.ny.gov/health_care/managed_care/.

The datasets contain hospital discharges counts (numerators, denominators, volume counts), observed, expected and risk-adjusted rates with corresponding 95% confidence intervals for IQIs generated using methodology developed by Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ).
The IQIs are a set of measures that provide a perspective on hospital quality of care using hospital administrative data. These indicators reflect quality of care inside hospitals and include inpatient mortality for certain procedures and medical conditions; utilization of procedures for which there are questions of overuse, underuse, and misuse; and volume of procedures for which there is some evidence that a higher volume of procedures is associated with lower mortality.
All the IQI measures were calculated using Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System (SPARCS) inpatient data beginning 2009. US Census data files provided by AHRQ were used to derive denominators for county level (area level) IQI measures.

The mortality, volume and utilization measures IQIs are presented by hospital as rates or counts. Area-level utilization measures are presented by county as rates.

The dataset contains the number of Medicaid Low Birth Weight newborns (numerator), the number of zip code Medicaid newborns (denominator), and observed rate for Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality Prevention Quality Indicator 9 (PQI 9) – Newborn Low Birth Weight Rate for Medicaid enrollees beginning in 2012.
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.
The observed rate for Low Birth Weight is presented by resident zip code (including a statewide
total). The observed rate for low birth weight by resident county: code (including a statewide total) can be found here: https://health.data.ny.gov/Health/Medicaid-Inpatient-Prevention-Quality-Indicators-P/aapx-etcg.

This dataset contains opioid-related deaths by county. Opioid-related deaths include heroin and opioid analgesics mortalities.

This dataset provides gamma radiation readings collected through Environmental Thermoluminescent Dosimeter (TLDs) devices placed at various facilities and locations in New York State. The Environmental TLDs provide a quantitative measurement of the radiation levels in the area in which they are placed. This dataset can be used by the general public, researchers and facility staff to evaluate environmental radiation levels at various locations. Facility operators may use data for inter-comparison and trending purposes. Please note that this program is not designed, or intended to monitor releases from discharge points at a specific facility (e.g., a stack). The facility operator performs this type of monitoring to meet the requirements of its licensing agency (e.g., a federal agency or the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation).

This dataset contains death counts by sex, age group, race/ethnicity, and selected cause of death. For more information, check out: http://www.health.ny.gov/statistics/vital_statistics/.

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: https://www.health.ny.gov/health_care/managed_care/reports/

This dataset reports daily on the number of people vaccinated by New York providers with at least one dose and with a complete COVID-19 vaccination series overall since December 14, 2020. New York providers include hospitals, mass vaccination sites operated by the State or local governments, pharmacies, and other providers registered with the State to serve as points of distribution.

This dataset is created by the New York State Department of Health from data reported to the New York State Immunization Information System (NYSIIS) and the New York City Citywide Immunization Registry (NYC CIR). County-level vaccination data is based on data reported to NYSIIS and NYC CIR by the providers administering vaccines. Residency is self-reported by the individual being vaccinated. This data does not include vaccine administered through Federal entities or performed outside of New York State to New York residents. NYSIIS and CIR data is used for county-level statistics. New York State Department of Health requires all New York State vaccination providers to report all COVID-19 vaccination administration data to NYSIIS and NYC CIR within 24 hours of administration.

This dataset measures the air, water, milk, fish, sediment, fruit/veg, and vegetation at Nine Mile Point and James A Fitzpatrick and other locations(background) around NYS to determine the normal levels of radioactivity and monitors the influence of human activities on these levels. The site numbers represent the location from which samples are collected. This dataset is not designed, or intended to monitor releases from discharge points at a specific facility (e.g., a stack). The facility operator performs this type of monitoring to meet the requirements of its licensing agency (e.g., a federal agency or the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation). A column has been added for values which can be graphed. Readings where a less than value is displayed show a value that is less than the detection limit of the measurement method and are essentially equivalent to 0. Variations in detection limit are due to variations in sample collection and measurement instrument performance.
