Use Case Priorities

Georgia APCD data will be leveraged for a wide range of use cases, including:

1. analyses conducted by the administrator based on priority state needs
2. independent analyses conducted by state entities
3. independent analyses conducted by third party entities such as universities and research organizations

For prioritizing administrator analyses, the Use Case Workgroup convened and developed scenarios describing the potential use of APCD data to meet the objectives defined in O.C.G.A. 31-53-40. For more information on the Use Case Workgroup's prioritization of use cases, refer to the Use Case Survey Report .

• Cost and Utilization
