Social network analysis and assessment practices: Challenges in sight

Abstract

The possibility of incorporating the Analysis of Social Networks (ASN) into health evaluation practices is discussed. As discursive basis, some propositions of evaluative practices were related to tangential matters from universe of the networks. Thus, we discuss with authors that support the incorporate the ASN into the process of health evaluation. From this dialectical approach, and analyzing a case study, we reflect on the possibility of such integration, concluding that there is huge object-methodological affinity between both practices.
