Multi-Method Health System Quality Improvement Intervention to Reduce Hypertension Disparities
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Hypertension
In brief
The investigators have designed a three-part quality improvement intervention to 1) improve the clinic-based measurement of blood pressure, 2) introduce a care management system to promote self-management behaviors and rapidly titrate medications by algorithms developed in accord with guidelines and 3) introduce an interactive, needs-based, longitudinal-provider education system that promotes patient-centered care and provides practical examples of patient-provider communication strategies. The intervention will occur at six clinics within the metropolitan area of Baltimore, Maryland. The investigators will also describe clinic and health system characteristics and measure their association with implementation (uptake), success (improvements in blood pressure control and reductions in racial disparities), and sustainability of the three-part intervention over 12 -24 months.
