New York State tracks the percentage of Medicaid members aged 6-64 who receive follow-up care within 14 days after a substance use disorder inpatient discharge. Data.ny.gov provides these performance measures to monitor the transition of behavioral health services into managed care. The dataset was last updated in June 2019.
Use Cases
- Analyze trends in follow-up `Rate` by `Year` and `Quarter` to assess program effectiveness.
- Compare `YTD Rate` and `Rate` across different `Region or Coverage Category` groupings.
- Calculate follow-up performance by `Age Inpatient Type` using `Numerator` and `Denominator` columns.
- Monitor annual performance via `YTD Numerator` and `YTD Denominator` fields for specific `Metric Description` categories.
Strengths
- Includes year-to-date metrics (`YTD Rate`, `YTD Numerator`, `YTD Denominator`) for trend analysis.
- Provides data breakdowns by `Region or Coverage Category`, `Age Inpatient Type`, and `Grouping Level`.
