TIARA Diabetes Education Tracking Software

TIARADiabetes Education Tracking Software
TM

• A straightforward and easy-to-use solution for
  your patient data tracking needs

2
Why TIARA?

• TIARA was designed by a diabetes educator to
  simplify the data collection for program
  recognition.
• Program recognition allows for Medicare
  reimbursement for this important activity.
• Manual collection of program statistics for
  recognition takes hundreds of hours.
• TIARA software is extremely simple to use and
  allows the educator to focus on patients, NOT on
  data collection.

3
The TIARA Screens are divided into two sections

• The left side has four tabs
• Patients
• Physicians
• Classes
• Reports
• As you select each tab, the right screen shows
  the required fields.

Patient Demographics

• The Patient Status field allows the educator to
  track whether patients are in the
  comprehensive/initial phase, or the follow-up
  phase of the program.
• Other demographic information is entered, using
  free text. Pull-down menus are available for many
  fields.
• The referral physician is selected from a
  pull-down menu of physicians already entered into
  the data base.
• Special needs (hearing or sight impaired, etc.)
  are selected as appropriate.

6
Patient Assessment

• The ten content areas from the 6th Edition
  National Standards for DSME are listed in a
  pull-down menu.
• The educator selects each content area in turn
  and decides if it is applicable to the patient.
• The educator then indicates whether group and/or
  individual education is needed and whether a
  behavior change is indicated.
• As required by the 6th Edition National
  Standards, there is a field to note cultural
  beliefs, financial issues, etc. that may impact
  the learning process.

7
Patient Education

• Group classes are assigned from a pull-down menu
  of the classes already entered into the program.
• Individual education is documented using a
  pull-down menu of the content areas.

8
Patient Behavior

• Individual goals are developed by the patient
  with help from the educator.
• Goals are categorized using a pull-down menu of
  the ADA content areas. Later, this information
  can be used for outcomes research.
• Individual goals are documented.

9
Patient Outcomes
This screen provides space to document the
outcomes your program follows, including

• - Blood pressure - Satisfaction with care
• - Body mass index - Quality of life
• - Lipid profile - Eye Exam
• - HgbA1C - Foot Exam
• Microalbuminuria - Smoking cessation

Two additional outcomes can be tracked, if the
user opts to define the Measure A and Measure B
