DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this three-year Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Competing Phase II Renewal project, titled "SocioWorks: A Web Toolset Product for Applied Social Network Analysis" is to create a technologically and organizationally scalable web application toolset for social network methods and their application to improving health and productivity - integrated across the units of analysis of individual patients, health care providers, administrators, and public health officials. This enterprise robust product, named "SocioWorks"", is intended to meet emerging needs in markets for applying Social Network Analysis (SNA) to solve problems and generate new knowledge in the health domain. SocioWorks will be designed to enable and facilitate observing, understanding, working with, and changing relationship-based organizational knowledge and processes in hospitals and other health care systems. It will support social network-based clinical and public health intervention research and programs, and it will serve as a tool for patients and families to better perceive themselves and the social structures they are embedded within. SocioWorks will have value to communities, for example to help families adjust to caregiving needs for a relative and to scale related research and intervention up to the policy level to support such caregiving. This project seeks to develop and integrate tools to take advantage of, and extend, understandings of how peer, family, team, organizational, and other social structures influence and are part of health processes and outcomes, and, to support scientifically guided change. While this project will focus on developing SocioWorks for applying to aging issues, the utility in all realms of health will be equally promising. Network analysis has expanded in some branches of health research in the past several years, and has been recognized in aging research as important for some time. As such, the utility of network studies for intervention is becoming clearer. Different levels of data (i.e., individuals, providers, institutions like hospitals, and public health systems/management) can be gathered as well as linked together in the proposed SocioWorks software infrastructure. As proposed for this web-based software, interventions will work not only at the level of social organization at which they are directed, but can also be incorporated into interventions at other levels as well as integrated with research and analysis across the various levels of social organization. Integrated network analysis would help people at any of the levels identify which social network types or features are associated with which kinds of health behaviors and outcomes, plus provide the basis for developing specific ways in which to address social constraints and opportunities related to health aspects of aging. SocioWorks will facilitate using social network approaches in diverse settings and multiple sites by giving users significant capabilities to author and manage their projects, protocols, procedures, assessment items, and data to meet their specific needs. SocioWorks will provide protocol-based task scheduling and tracking functionality for social network research projects and programmatic applications, such as Patient Safety and Quality Improvement programs in hospitals. SocioWorks will provide tools for multi-site research collaboration, rule-based sharing of study information and data sets, and security management. It will support interoperability and integration with other systems using standard methods, and will include data import and export in standard formats. The underlying technologies will be reliable and scalable, and clients using computation-intensive algorithms will be able to use computational resources from the application servers. As a pure web-based system, SocioWorks will offer full functionality as a hosted application, but clients will have options for deploying the system on their own servers PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This project titled "SocioWorks: A Web Toolset Product for Applied Social Network Analysis" will create a highly innovative web toolset for social network methods and their application to improving health and productivity. This enterprise robust product, named "SocioWorks"", is intended to meet emerging needs in markets for applying Social Network Analysis (SNA) to solve problems and generate new knowledge in the health domain. SocioWorks will be designed to enable and facilitate observing, understanding, working with, and changing relationship-based organizational knowledge and processes in hospitals and other health care systems. SocioWorks will facilitate using social network approaches in diverse settings and multiple sites by giving users significant capabilities to author and manage their projects, protocols, procedures, assessment items, and data to meet their specific needs. It will be architected to support ongoing change and evolution in response to new user goals, needs, problems, and requirements, providing a deep level of sustainable innovation.

描述（由申请人提供）：这个为期三年的小型企业创新研究 (SBIR) 竞争性第二阶段更新项目的目标是“SocioWorks：用于应用社交网络分析的 Web 工具集产品”，旨在创建一个技术上和组织上可扩展的网络社交网络方法的应用工具集及其在改善健康和生产力方面的应用 - 跨个体患者、医疗保健提供者、管理人员和公共卫生官员的分析单位进行整合。这款强大的企业级产品名为“SocioWorks”，旨在满足市场中应用社交网络分析 (SNA) 解决问题并生成健康领域新知识的新兴需求。SocioWorks 旨在实现并促进观察、理解与医院和其他医疗保健系统合作并改变基于关系的组织知识和流程，它将支持基于社交网络的临床和公共卫生干预研究和计划，并将作为患者和家庭更好地开展工作的工具。感知自己以及他们所嵌入的社会结构SocioWorks 将为社区带来价值，例如帮助家庭适应亲属的护理需求，并将相关研究和干预扩大到政策层面以支持此类护理。并扩展对同伴、家庭、团队、组织和其他社会结构如何影响并成为健康过程和结果的一部分的理解，并支持科学指导的变革。虽然该项目将重点开发 SocioWorks 来解决老龄化问题，但它在所有健康领域的实用性也将同样前景广阔。在过去的几年里，网络分析在健康研究的一些分支中得到了扩展，并且在一段时间以来，网络分析在衰老研究中的重要性已被认识到。因此，网络研究对于干预的效用变得越来越清晰。不同级别的数据（即个人、提供者、医院等机构以及公共卫生系统/管理）可以在提议的 SocioWorks 软件基础设施中收集和链接在一起。正如针对该基于网络的软件所提议的，干预措施不仅可以在其所针对的社会组织层面发挥作用，而且还可以纳入其他层面的干预措施，并与社会各个层面的研究和分析相结合。组织。综合网络分析将帮助任何级别的人们确定哪些社交网络类型或特征与哪些类型的健康行为和结果相关，并为制定具体方法提供基础，以解决与健康方面相关的社会约束和机会。老化。 SocioWorks 将通过为用户提供创作和管理其项目、协议、程序、评估项目和数据的强大功能来满足其特定需求，从而促进在不同环境和多个站点中使用社交网络方法。 SocioWorks 将为社交网络研究项目和程序化应用程序（例如医院的患者安全和质量改进计划）提供基于协议的任务调度和跟踪功能。 SocioWorks 将提供用于多站点研究协作、基于规则的研究信息和数据集共享以及安全管理的工具。它将支持使用标准方法与其他系统的互操作性和集成，并将包括标准格式的数据导入和导出。底层技术将是可靠且可扩展的，使用计算密集型算法的客户端将能够使用来自应用程序服务器的计算资源。作为一个纯粹的基于网络的系统，SocioWorks 将提供作为托管应用程序的完整功能，但客户可以选择在自己的服务器上部署系统 公共健康相关性：该项目名为“SocioWorks：用于应用社交网络分析的网络工具集产品”将为社交网络方法及其应用创建一个高度创新的网络工具集，以改善健康和生产力。这款强大的企业级产品名为“SocioWorks”，旨在满足市场中应用社交网络分析 (SNA) 解决问题并生成健康领域新知识的新兴需求。SocioWorks 旨在实现并促进观察、理解与医院和其他医疗保健系统合作并改变基于关系的组织知识和流程，SocioWorks 将通过为用户提供编写和管理其项目、协议、程序的重要功能，促进在不同环境和多个站点中使用社交网络方法。评估项目及数据满足它将被设计为支持持续的变化和发展，以响应新的用户目标、需要、问题和要求，提供深层次的可持续创新。
