Tandem t:connect

Tandem t:connect logo

Product description

The t:connect Diabetes Management Application developed by Tandem allows medical staff to easily access patient diabetes readings such as glucose, etc. The information is downloaded during office visits from the patient’s Tandem Diabetes Care insulin pump and specified blood glucose meters (which they have to bring with them). The information is displayed in easy-to-read charts and graphs to show progress between appointments and offer guidance for ongoing treatment.

How we use Tandem t:connect at VA

Patients bring their insulin pumps to their appointments at VA facilities. Medical staff then upload their data from the pump into their VA workstation using t:connect software. Providers will be able to generate analytical reports from current and past blood glucose trends. By being able to analyze detailed records, VA medical staff can provide improved diabetes management for the patient.

No VA Data

For SaaS products that do not contain VA-owned data*, there is now an expedited process that does not require a traditional VA authority to operate (ATO). Criteria include the following:

  • User owns a device (even if VA paid for the purchase of the device) such as a CPAP or glucometer that uses a SaaS product to share patient data (non-VA data*).
  • SaaS product has no direct connections or interfaces to VA systems or network.
  • Users consent to share their data (which may include PII and PHI) directly with the SaaS provider.
  • SaaS providers must have published terms and conditions for user consent.
  • VA providers access data in a view-only mode or with limited functionality per the user’s consent.

*According to Circular a130, anything that VA creates, collects, processes, maintains, disseminates, or disposes of by or for the federal government is considered federal information (VA data).

VA providers may not enter any VA information into this product; it must adhere to no VA data standards mentioned above.

The next step

If VA employees would like to use or purchase this previously approved service, please submit a SaaS inquiry form to confirm your use case and get procurement approval.
