The NYS Primary Care Profile presents key measures of primary care access and need for adult residents. The primary care access measures are intended to capture New Yorkers’ ability to gain entry to the health care system by having access to sites, insurance coverage to pay for needed services, and providers with whom to develop ongoing relationships to meet their health care needs.
The Profile also includes measures on New Yorkers’ need for primary care services, as defined by indicators of health status and socioeconomic position.
