For the period 2009-2013 total annual new HIV diagnoses are on average 330 cases higher under the new method. Even with the higher numbers, the downward trajectory of new HIV diagnoses in NYS over time remains accurate.

Fatal work-related injuries per 100,000 employed persons aged 16 years and older | The number of fatal work-related injuries reported to the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI). Data are presented for a three-year time period. The fatality rates are per 100,000 employed persons aged 16 years or older based on U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Current Population Statistics. The fatality data include employed persons based on the CFOI definition of "at work." Deaths are included in the CFOI categorized under the following event types:
Certain criteria must be met in order for a death to be included in the CFOI. The CFOI uses a variety of state, federal, and independent data sources to identify, verify, and describe fatal work injuries. This ensures counts are as complete and accurate as possible. The decedent must have been employed at the time of the event, and engaged in a work activity or have been present at the site of the incident as a requirement of the job. This broad definition is intended to capture all work-related fatalities that occur while a person is engaged in work. Data must meet certain confidentiality requirements in order to be published; data that is unable to be released will be noted in the cells with a "s". NYC fatality data are available for NYC only as a whole. The data are not published by NYC county or borough. Additional state-level fatality rates by industry are available on the CFOI website. Please note that the denominators for the fatality rates on the CFOI website are the total hours worked by all employees in the state during the calendar year (hour-based employment). The fatality rate on the CFOI website should be interpreted as the number of fatal occupational injuries per 100,000 full-time equivalent workers. (See additional details in the CFOI handbook of methods.) On the CHIRS website, the fatality rates are calculated with employed persons (16+) as the denominator and should be interpreted as the number of work-related injuries per 100,000 employed persons aged 16 years or older. |

** The standard population used for age adjustment was the 2000 U.S. population.
Numerous data sources were used to develop this information including:
Mortality and hospitalization based indicators are presented as both crude and age-adjusted rates. The standard population that was used for adjustment was the 2000 United States population. Age adjustment allows for the comparison of rates between geographic areas with different age distributions.
These community statistics are grouped into fifteen health-related topics. The dashboard also includes an "About This Site" page which links to "About" indicator pages that provides indicator definitions, data sources and NYSDOH program contact information.
Data for each health topic can be obtained in two different formats. The first option, The New York State Community Health Indicator Reports (CHIRS) dashboard presents 15 health topics that include about 350 health indicators. The dashboard has maps, tables, bar charts, trend graphs, and at-a-glance comparisons of the two most recent data points. Each table contains data for all 62 New York State counties, 11 Delivery System Reform Incentive Payment (DSRIP) regions, New York City, the State excluding New York City, and New York State.
The DSRIP program aims to promote community-level collaborations and focus on system reform (Medicaid Redesign Team (MRT) reforms), specifically a goal to achieve a 25 percent reduction in avoidable hospital use over five years . DSRIP relevant performance data - DSRIP data reporting and presentation resulted in organizing counties into 11 regions (These regions replaced the historically used HSA regions in CHIRS).
Information can be accessed by selecting one of the health-related topics. After selecting a topic, a list of available indicators will appear. On the Dashboard home page, the green row includes the column header labeled Data Views. There are four or five icons displayed under the Data Views column, depending on the indicator.
The state dashboard also includes the at-a-glance comparisons of the two most recent data points, and charts showing the indicator for the state, NYC and the state excluding NYC. The dashboard also includes a "Data Table" option that shows a comprehensive data table of all indicators organized by the health-related topics. This table displays data for the most recent year and for the previous year by indicator.
The second option is the county health topic profiles, or the County Health Assessment Indicators (CHAI).
New York State Community Health Indicator Reports, www.health.ny.gov/CHIRSDashboard (Last revised: February 2023)(Accessed on August 23, 2023)
Population estimates are developed by the US Census Bureau.
Estimates for 2020 and earlier are from Bridged Race Categories files, developed by the Census Bureau for the National Center for Health Statistics. The 2018 population estimates are used to calculate rates for 2019 and 2020.
Estimates for 2021 and later are from Special Tabulations from the US Census Population and Housing Unit Estimates Program.
See this document for information about why different estimates were used, the differences in these estimates, and why 2018 estimates were used to calculate rates for 2019 and 2020.
Multiple years of data were combined to generate more stable estimates when the number of events for an indicator was small (i.e., rare conditions).
The relative standard error (RSE) is a tool for assessing reliability of an estimate. A large RSE is produced when estimates are calculated based on a small number of cases.2 Estimates with large RSEs are considered less reliable than estimates with small RSEs. The National Center for Health Statistics recommends that estimates with RSEs greater than 30% should be considered unreliable/unstable.3
The RSE is calculated by dividing the standard error of the estimate by the estimate itself, then multiplying that result by 100. The RSE is expressed as a percent of the estimate.
For notation purposes, an asterisk (*) symbol is used to indicate that a percentage, rate, or ratio is unreliable/unstable. This usually occurs when there are less than 10 events in the numerator (RSE is greater than 30%).
CHIRS indicators fall into three categories with regard to the direction of their estimates. Higher estimates in some indicators mean poorer health or greater risk of poorer health (e.g., the percentage of premature deaths before age 75 years, or cardiovascular hospitalizations). Lower estimates in some other indicators mean poorer health or greater risk of poorer health (e.g., the percentage of the population with health insurance, or the percentage of infants exclusively breastfed in the hospital). A few indicators do not have a direction (e.g., total population, percent of births which were first birth), and the higher or lower estimates have no meaning in terms of health or heath risk. For these indicators, "Increased" or "Decreased" is used instead to indicate change from the previous data period.
For each CHIRS indicator, county estimates are grouped into three categories: LIGHT GREEN, BLUE-GREEN, and DARK BLUE. The three colors represent the quartile distribution of estimates for the counties, ordered from counties with the lowest percent of population with poorer health or at risk of poorer health, to counties with the highest percent of population with poorer health or at risk of poorer health.
For CHIRS indicators where higher estimates mean poorer health or greater risk of poorer health (e.g., percentage of premature deaths before age 75 years or the age-adjusted rate of cardiovascular disease hospitalizations):
For CHIRS indicators where lower estimates mean poorer health or greater risk of poorer health (e.g., the percentage of the population with health insurance or the percentage of infants exclusively breastfed in the hospital):
Some indicators do not fall into the two types of indicators listed above, such as population, and percent of births which were first birth. The county dial is only a visual representation of where the county is in relation to other counties, e.g. larger or smaller, higher or lower.
Three different methods were used to assess indicator performance
Use caution when interpreting significance. For more common conditions (i.e., high incidence rates), there is a higher likelihood that a relatively small change could be detected as statistically significant. Conversely, for rare conditions, the likelihood of detecting a statistically significant change is low even for reasonable changes.
On the State and County dashboards, the categories for the Indicator Performance are as follows:
The "^" sign indicates that the performance was determined using simple comparison and not with statistical tests.
On the County/Region Comparison table, hover boxes over counties include the following categories:
In May 2019, we have modified the method to compare two age-adjusted rates. When either rate is based on less than 25 cases, simple comparison is used.5
Results are not shown (i.e., suppressed) when issues of confidentiality exist. Suppression rules vary depending on the data source and the indicator. An 's' notation indicates that the data did not meet reporting criteria.
