Dear Colleague,

The New York State Sepsis Care Improvement Initiative reminds all hospitals that the New York State Sepsis Data Collection Portal is open October 1, 2026, through November 12, 2026, for submission of adult and pediatric data for Q3 of 2026 (discharge dates 07/01/2026 - 09/30/2026).

Dear Colleague,

The New York State Sepsis Care Improvement Initiative would like to remind all hospitals to ensure that their Primary User completes the onboarding process for the 2025 Enhanced Quarterly and Data Quality Reports. Invitations to access the reports and set up multi-factor authentication (MFA) were shared in July 2026, and a reminder was sent in late August to Primary Users who have not completed setting up their accounts. Currently, less than 50% of Primary Users have completed account setup.  Please reference the Tableau Multi-factor Authentication User Guide for more information about account setup, and the 2025 Tableau User Guide for information about navigating the reports.

We strongly encourage all hospitals to ensure that their Primary Users complete the onboarding process for their accounts and can access the reports ahead of the deadline for submitting corrected data for Calendar Year (CY) 2025. As a reminder, the deadline for submitting corrected data for Calendar Year (CY) 2025 to the sepsis portal is Wednesday, September 30, 2026. It is critical that hospitals access the reports to identify cases with data discrepancies for correction ahead of this deadline. After this deadline, there will be no additional opportunities to correct CY 2025 data. If you have any questions, please contact us by submitting a Helpdesk ticket.

Thank you,

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

Dear Colleague,

The New York State Sepsis Care Improvement Initiative is writing to notify hospitals that the deadline for submitting corrected data for Calendar Year (CY) 2025 to the sepsis portal is Wednesday, September 30, 2026. After this deadline, there will be no additional opportunities to correct CY 2025 data.

Ahead of the deadline, we ask that portal users review their 2025 data submissions by accessing the 2025 Enhanced Data Quality and Quarterly Reports on Tableau Server at https://ny-tableau.ipro.org/. Hospitals should specifically review their Data Quality Reports to identify and correct cases with exceptions and missing or invalid data.

As a reminder, the enhanced reports are only accessible by your facility’s Primary User on the Sepsis Portal. Invitations to access the reports and set up multi-factor authentication (MFA) were shared in July 2026, and a reminder was sent last week to Primary Users who have not completed setting up their accounts. Currently, less than 50% of Primary Users have completed account setup. We strongly encourage all Primary Users to confirm they have setup their account and can access the reports to ensure there is adequate time to correct CY 2025 data before the deadline. Please reference the Tableau Multi-factor Authentication User Guide for more information about account setup, and the 2025 Tableau User Guide for information about navigating the reports.

If you have any questions, please contact us by submitting a Helpdesk ticket.
