Collective Action Analysis
A Part of the Q-DART Toolset
The Q-DART project is developing GIS mapping and statistical analysis tools that will allow key stakeholders to better identify opportunities for pooled community intervention efforts through collective action, that is, the pursuit of a common goal by one or more groups. Through collective action analysis, Q-DART seeks to identify areas of "shared interest" or common healthcare challenges among plans, provider groups, public health agencies, and other community stakeholders. The benefits of collective action can include cost savings and better healthcare quality and in some cases, it may be the only solution to otherwise intractable problems.
