What's Included

Record Linkage as a Data Driver

The key differentiator for the DDAPR project is the longitudinal database that captures data and events from multiple source systems. These disparate observations are then linked in order to generate a unified picture of an individual’s actions and interactions with state programs.

Resultant's Unique Methodology

Resultant has developed a unique methodology that combines a custom record linkage system with refined processes to probabilistically link large-scale datasets, resulting in highly accurate individual correlations, which enable preventative interventions.
