  • Mortality – Heart Disease
  • Mortality – Homicide
  • Mortality – Coronary Heart Disease

Correction made to export to Excel function for three indicators.

An issue was identified affecting the export to Excel data for multi-county report areas in three indicator datasets. For these indicators a database query needed to summarize data across multiple counties was missing causing state, county, and national values to populate across the excel table columns incorrectly. This issue has been addressed. Affected indicators:

  • 30-Day Hospital Readmissions
  • Young People Not in School and Not Working
  • Respiratory Hazard Index
