Implementing Hypertension Screening Guidelines in Primary Care
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Hypertension,Essential, White Coat Hypertension
In brief
The goal of this study is to use a cluster-randomized design (1:1 ratio) among 8 primary care clinics affiliated with New York-Presbyterian Hospital to test the effectiveness of a theory-informed multifaceted implementation strategy designed to increase the uptake of the 2015 United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) hypertension screening guidelines. The primary outcome is the ordering of out-of-office blood pressure testing, either ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) or home blood pressure monitoring (HBPM), by primary care clinicians for patients with newly elevated office blood pressure (BP), as recommended by the 2015 guidelines.
