Deep dive: Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) Support

Healthie offers providers that deliver the CDC's Diabetes Prevention Program several resources to help with facilitation and delivery.

Note: These resources are made available as a premium add-on to your account, and you must be on the Healthie Plus Plan or above. There is a fee of $25/provider/month for this add-on. If you are interested in accessing these, please e-mail hello@gethealthie.com.

Here is an overview of what we offer: 

1. Diabetes Prevention Programs Modules: Healthie has built out the CDC's default program, in English & Spanish, for your utilization in Programs. While many organizations elect to customize the module / lesson experience, the CDC's initial templates can serve as a great starting point for your program delivery. Please e-mail hello@gethealthie.com to purchase the add-on and accessing these. 

2. Diabetes Prevention Program Report: Healthie's Smart Form for Diabetes Prevention Program makes it easy for you to aggregate and submit required information to the CDC for the purposes of tracking participant engagement and outcomes, as well as collecting reimbursement based on program delivery. 

  • If you have purchased the DPP Add-on, you will see a charting template on your account called "DPP Sessions" - if you complete this template within your client's Chart Note, the answers generated in that template will populate into your DPP Report. 

3. Handouts and Resources: Here are some resources to help you with learning about DPP, and why organizations use Healthie to deliver DPP:

If you are interested in accessing this report, please e-mail us at hello@gethealthie.com.

You will be given a specific charting template to complete, and answers generated in that Charting Template will populate into your DPP report. 

Generate Your DPP Report 

Once you've been using the DPP charting template for your DPP clients, you are able to generate a DPP report that will aggregate your data in a CSV file. The report is generated in a special formate that the CDC uses, making it simple to report your data to the CDC. 

To generate the report: 

  • Navigate to Forms > Search for DPP
  • Select [...] > Edit
  • Click the Options button on the top right 
  • Select Download Form Responses

Your CSV file will become available in your Generate Reports folder within Documents. This may take up to 30 minutes to complete, you can navigate away from forms and use the platform as usual.
