Relaunch of DPP Express
Coming Soon
Simplify data collection and reporting for your Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)-recognized lifestyle
change programs with DPP Express.
If you have a CDC-recognized lifestyle change program
as part of the National Diabetes Prevention Program,
you know how difficult it can be to collect and report
data accurately and meet all the requirements of CDC's
Diabetes Prevention Recognition Program (DPRP). If you
are tired of spending hours tracking the evaluation data
required by the DPRP and manually generating required
reports, then it is time to try the American Diabetes
Association's (ADA's) DPP Express!
DPP Express has always been a user-friendly, Health
Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)-
compliant, Web-based charting platform that allows users
to collect data and generate reports that align with DPRP
requirements. However, soon the ADA will be launching
its newest version of DPP Express. This version will allow
an unlimited number of users to access the platform with
features that include:
*	 A unified class documentation page, allowing you to
quickly chart across an entire cohort of participants
*	 The ability to move a participant from one cohort to
another quickly and easily
*	 Documentation of patient biometric data such as A1C,
blood pressure, and lipid panels.
*	 Powerful reporting features including:
»	 Accurate comma-separated value reports available at
the click of a button to meet all current and future CDC
guidelines
»	 Comprehensive program metric reporting showing your
program's performance
»	 Multiple report filters allowing you to focus on specific
segments of your program

»	 Detailed participant summary reports showing progress
over time in a polished PDF format suitable for sharing
with participants and health care providers
»	 At-a-glance participant attendance reports by cohort
The ADA will also be offering optional advanced features to
help increase the efficiency and success of your program.
Some of these features include:
*	 Recruitment features allowing you to record recruitment
activities and track potential participants and their level of
interest in enrolling in your program
*	 The ability to send texts and email messages to several
or all your recruits and participants directly from DPP
Express
*	 Identification and tracking of who is referring participants
to your program
*	 Medicare Diabetes Prevention Program (MDPP) billing
and cross-walk reports for easy Medicare reporting
submissions
*	 Additional billing functionality
ADA's complete onboarding process will get you up to
speed quickly, with monthly training seminars to ensure
that you are always supported. DPP Express also includes
access to a support site that will walk you through all of
the platform features, with helpful videos and tutorials to
make using DPP Express a breeze. If you need additional
assistance, our friendly customer service staff are happy to
help at no additional charge.
DPP Express is available for a minimal fee to all CDCrecognized lifestyle change programs, including ADArecognized diabetes self-management education and
support services. To learn more about DPP Express and its
capabilities or to join the next live monthly webinar, call ADA
