New @NYHFoundation dashboard paints a picture of primary care at the ZIP code level across New York State. Explore data on primary care access and utilization, health outcomes, and socio-demographic status.

Understanding disparities in primary care access and utilization is crucial for improving public health outcomes and ensuring equitable health care delivery. The Care Across Communities dashboard offers a detailed ZIP code-level exploration of New York’s primary care landscape. 

This tool is designed to provide comprehensive insights into primary care across three domains: primary care access and utilization, health outcomes, and socio-demographic status.

 Key Features for In-Depth Analysis: 

  • Interactive Data Visualization: Select different primary care measures such as “No Usual Source of Care” to see variations across ZIP codes displayed on the color-coded, interactive map. 
  • Detailed ZIP Code-Level Data: Click on any ZIP code or use the search function to delve into specific area statistics, including health outcomes and health service utilization rates. 
  • Comprehensive Information Panels: Access detailed information on selected measures, comparing local data to county and state averages and examining racial and ethnic data.
