The Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System (SPARCS) Inpatient De-Identified dataset contains discharge level detail on patient characteristics, diagnoses, treatments, services, and charges. This data contains basic record level detail regarding the discharge; however, the data does not contain protected health information (PHI) under Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (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.

The Managed Care Consumer Guide data provides information about the quality of care for different health plans as well as people's opinions about the care and services plans provide. This information will help consumers choose a managed care plan that meets their health care needs and the needs of his or her family.

The dataset contains hospital stroke designation and Coverdell registry participation status, acute stroke discharges counts (numerators, denominators), observed, expected and risk-adjusted acute stroke in-hospital/30-day post admission mortality rates with corresponding 95% confidence intervals. Mortality rates risk adjustment was based on the methodology developed by the New York State Department of Health.

The purpose of this data set is reporting of hospital-specific risk adjusted acute stroke mortality rates (RAMR) to inform hospitals, to aid initiatives to improve hospital quality performance and measurement, and to identify performance outliers for public reporting.

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.

The plan profile data contains information about managed care plans serving New York State residents including the number of current enrolling members and counties/regions of the state they currently serve. Customer service telephone numbers are included along with their website address. Also included are NCQA accreditation ratings. These are important things to consider when choosing a managed care plan. Data on the ratings of each plan can be found in the Managed Care Regional Consumer Guide located at, https://health.data.ny.gov/Health/Managed-Care-Regional-Consumer-Guide/44t3-4uep.

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.

The dataset shows each of the 66 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.

Data collected to fulfill the requirements of the SWTR (Surface Water Treatment Rule) and FAD (Filtration Avoidance Determination). Data is collected via grab sampling, analysis, LIMS data capture and reporting. Each record represents either a four hour turbidity result, a 24 hour average turbidty result, or a daily fecal coliform result from DEL18DT (Delaware Shaft 18 downtake). Data is used to monitor compliance with the requirements above. There are no limitations for the data.

The dataset groups 66 individual Potentially Preventable Complication (PPC) measures into 8 different categories, providing observed and risk-adjusted rates for all payer discharges by hospital and statewide, beginning in 2013.

The dataset contains Potentially Preventable Visit (PPV) observed, expected, and risk-adjusted rates for Medicaid beneficiaries by 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 Medicaid inpatient and outpatient data for the numerator and Medicaid enrollment in the county or zip code for the denominator.

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).
