Piloting Healthcare Coordination in Hypertension

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Hypertension

In brief

The PRECISION study investigates the possibility of integrating a clinical decision support analytic intelligence into the clinical care flow at University of California San Francisco Medical Center (UCSF MC). optima-for-blood pressure \[optima4BP\], our innovation, transforms the episodic and reactive nature of uncontrolled HTN pharmacological treatment management into a process that is continuous, proactive, and personalized. In addition, the clinical adoption of this "technology of the future" will be investigated to establish its feasibility in being embedded into the clinical care flow. Today's hypertension (HTN) management paradigm often fails to align current patient health status with the most effective medication treatment. Without surveillance and rapid-cycles analysis of current patient health status and treatment efficacy, HTN management remains a struggle. optima4BP addresses pharmacological intervention management by identifying the need for a drug treatment change and recommending the most appropriate drug optimization. The PRECISION study represent a pilot trial intended to address 2 critical design components of optima4BP: 1. Can optima4BP interoperate with multiple IT platforms to collect and distribute data? 2. What is the treating physician confidence in using optima4BP?
