Note: This annual report is no longer updated. Beginning with the 1st QSIR 2017, these reports will be updated quarterly only. Please see the link in the featured content. The Department of Health (NYSDOH) requires adult care facilities (ACFs) to complete an electronic filing of each facility's licensed adult home and enriched housing program bed census on an annual basis. These facilities include adult homes (AHs), enriched housing programs (EHPs), assisted living programs (ALPs), assisted living residences (ALRs), special needs assisted living residences (SNALR), and enhanced assisted living residences (EALR). Available bed and occupancy information in ACFs is self-reported and is not audited by NYSDOH. This dataset is refreshed on a annual basis. For more information, check out http://www.health.ny.gov/facilities/adult_care/.

This map contains the locations of Adult Care Facilities that are currently licensed in New York State.

New York State, through the New York State Department of Health, licenses and supervises adult care facilities which provide temporary or long-term, non-medical residential care services to adults who are substantially unable to live independently. For more information, check out: https://www.health.ny.gov/facilities/adult_care/. The "About" tab contains additional details concerning this dataset.

This quarterly report contains self-reported and unaudited demographic and bed availability information reported by Adult Care Facilities (ACFs). The regulations governing the operation of Adult Care Facilities (ACFs) – Standards for Adult Homes 487.10(e)(2), Adult Care Facilities Standards for Enriched Housing Programs 488.10(e)(4), and Standards for Residences for Adults 490.10(e)(4) – require each operator to submit a quarterly statistical information report.

Public access to the ACF census is solely intended to allow for a convenient and immediate means of acquiring public information on adult care facilities licensed by the Department. Available bed and census information in adult care facilities is self-reported and is not audited by the Department. While all attempts are made to provide accurate, current, and reliable information, the Department recognizes the possibility of human and/or mechanical error and that information captured at a point in time often becomes obsolete. Therefore, the Department, its employees, officers, and agents make no representation, warranty, or guarantee as to the accuracy, completeness, currency, or suitability of the information provided here. Information is self-reported and is not audited by the Department. This data does not reflect the quality of services provided by any specific provider. Please note, “Redacted” information (R) contained in the census is removed in order to protect individually identifiable information and stay within the HIPAA guidelines and information noted as “Not Available” (N/A) is census information that was not requested at the time of the reporting period.

This interactive chart provides the average number of adult deer ticks, also known as blacklegged ticks, or by their scientific name Ixodes scapularis, collected per 1,000 meters sampled in the county (tick population density). Use the filters below to compare counties by year.

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. Tick population density 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.These data should simply be used to educate people that there is a risk of coming in contact with ticks and tick-borne diseases.

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.

The Adult Tobacco Survey (ATS) was developed by the New York Tobacco Control Program (NY TCP) in partnership with RTI International, the independent evaluator for the NY TCP. The survey has been fielded continually since June 2003 to the non-institutionalized adult population of New York State, aged 18 years or older.

The dataset shows Potentially Preventable Complication (PPC) measures for the 36 major PPCs combined; providing observed, expected, and risk-adjusted rates and counts 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.

The dataset groups 65 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.
