Abstract

Social network analysis methods offer many avenues of inquiry for studying new developments in health policy and health care delivery. The expanding availability of large linkable electronic clinical and administrative data sources allows for novel SNA applications with dependent data structures. Opportunities include the study of delivery patterns within accountable care organizations (ACOs), and other multi-provider networks, price and quality competition within new health insurance exchanges, and population health effects attributable to complex community-level interventions.
