Problem the AI is intended to solve

To assist in determining if an organization participating in the National DPP is at risk of improperly starting, going inactive, or not achieving necessary goals for continued participation in CDC’s Diabetes Prevention Recognition Program.

Expected benefits

The RAM module helps program managers synthesize large amounts of organization-level data to make informed decisions on assisting organizations, leading to increased program participation and improved health outcomes.

System outputs

The RAM is a reporting tool that ingests organization-level data (including participant enrollment, demographics, and risk factors) to generate a ranked list of organizations at highest risk of failing to meet program objectives. Outputs are currently restricted to CDC associates, with plans for future access by State Quality Specialist users.
