Key Differentiators for Dallas CDA
The Dallas Community Data for Action (Dallas CDA) project is unlike any data project that Dallas has seen. It’s not a website, it’s more than that. Here are five key differences.
OPEN TO ALL
Dallas CDA is built for all. Users can access data through the interface, or build their own apps and tools powered by DCDA Data.
BOUNDARYNEUTRAL
Dallas CDA takes you beyond the ZIP code. Most of us work in neighborhoods, and Dallas CDA gives you the ability so see things that way, too.
SILO PHOBIC
Unlike many initiatives that tend to focus on sector-specific data, Dallas CDA is committed to busting silos. Our goal is to bring together the data you need to make effective decisions.
KNOWLEDGE ORIENTED
Let’s face it, data doesn’t make better decisions, only knowledge can do that. Our goal is to build the tools and sources you need to inform you, not innundate you with data.
FUTURE MINDED
Dallas CDA is built with the latest tools and lives in the cloud, where it is fully ready to scale as our users demands change. Because it’s quick and agile, we can take advantage of the latest and greatest technologies.
Project Team
Dallas Community Data for Action is the work of a partnership, funded and led by the Community Council of Greater Dallas. Together with IUPR, CCGD is working with bC Workshop, the Dallas Fort Worth Hospital Council Education and Research Foundation, and the Parkland Center for Clinical Innovation.
