Reducing Clinical Inertia in Hypertension Treatment: A Pragmatic Trial
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Hypertension
In brief
The goal of this project is to use health information technology and team-based care in novel ways to support the establishment of a Patient-Centered Medical Home model of care aimed at improving the diagnosis and management of hypertension. Compared with patients who receive usual care, patients who receive intervention will have a lower average systolic blood pressure 9 months after randomization.
