Department of Health

Dear Colleague,

The New York State Department of Health (Department) is pleased to announce the release of the 2022 New York State Sepsis Care Improvement Initiative report. The report is now available on the Department’s Sepsis website, here: https://health.ny.gov/diseases/conditions/sepsis/reports.htm.

The purpose of this public report is to provide actionable information to hospitals to support their ongoing quality improvement efforts, to inform new initiatives surrounding sepsis care, and to educate patients and caregivers as part of a statewide initiative to reduce the impact of this deadly condition. This report also aims to highlight areas for improvement to assist hospitals and clinicians in focusing their efforts.

The 2022 New York State Report on Sepsis Care Improvement Initiative is the second report released using a dashboard format. The dashboard allows users to interact with data through sorting, filtering, and hovering for additional information. The dashboard describes volume, mortality rates, and incidence rates for patient demographics and locations in New York State as well as hospital-level risk-adjusted mortality rates. Information on how to use the dashboard can be found in the User Guide, located here: https://health.ny.gov/diseases/conditions/sepsis/docs/sepsis_report_user_guide.pdf.

Please contact us at Sepsis.Clinical.Data@health.ny.gov for any questions.

Thank you,

The New York State Department of Health Sepsis Care Improvement Initiative Team
