The datasets contain Potentially Preventable Visit (PPV) observed, expected, and risk-adjusted rates for all payer beneficiaries by patient county and patient zip code beginning in 2011.

The Potentially Preventable Visits (PPV), obtained from software created by 3M Health Information Systems, are emergency visits that may result from a lack of adequate access to care or ambulatory care coordination. These ambulatory sensitive conditions could be reduced or eliminated with adequate patient monitoring and follow up.

The rates were calculated using Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System (SPARCS) inpatient and outpatient data and Claritas population information.

The observed, expected and risk adjusted rates for PPV are presented by either resident county (including a statewide total) or resident zip code (including a statewide total).

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.

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.

The datasets contain hospital discharges counts (numerators, denominators, volume counts), observed, expected and risk-adjusted rates with corresponding 95% confidence intervals for Patient Safety Indicators generated using methodology developed by Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ).

The PSIs are a set of indicators providing information on potential in hospital complications and adverse events following surgeries, procedures, and childbirth. The PSIs were developed by AHRQ after a comprehensive literature review, analysis of ICD-9-CM codes, review by a clinician panel, implementation of risk adjustment, and empirical analyses.

All PSI 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) PSI measures.

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.

The dataset shows each of the 65 individual Potentially Preventable Complication (PPC) measures, providing observed and risk-adjusted rates for all payer discharges by hospital and statewide, beginning in 2013.

Potentially Preventable Complications (PPC), obtained from software created by 3M Health Information Systems, are defined as harmful events or negative outcomes that develop or occur during hospitalization and may result from processes of care and treatment rather than from natural progression of the underlying illness.

The PPCs were calculated using Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System (SPARCS) inpatient data.

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 county 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).
