Most people know the NYS Justice Center investigates abuse and neglect. But what many don't know is that at the heart of the agency is a powerful Data and Analytics unit—a team of data scientists working to make the entire system safer. 

In this episode, we spotlight our data unit and how the Justice Center leverages incident reports to identify systemic dangers that no single provider or case file could reveal. We use a powerful real-world example: the agency's data-driven response to food-choking incidents.

Discover how recognizing a dangerous trend led to direct, actionable changes that have protected countless people supported by New York State care systems, proving that sometimes, the most effective tool in the fight for safety is preventing harm before it happens.
