About this study

In plain language

This study aims to improve control of high blood pressure at 56 Cleveland Clinic primary care offices in Northeast Ohio. It is for adults ages 18–85 with high blood pressure above 150/95. Care teams will use blood pressure readings taken at home to adjust medicines.

The primary objective of the Implementation of Effective Hypertension Management Approaches: Cleveland Clinic program is to improve blood pressure control for patients diagnosed with hypertension (HTN) and uncontrolled blood pressure, specifically defined as a blood pressure greater than 150/95, across all Cleveland Clinic Northeast Ohio primary care practices. The project will scale up the availability of resources for treating hypertension in 56 primary care practices within the Cleveland Clinic Health System in Northern Ohio, reaching up to approximately 3800 patients. This project will utilize evidence from a randomized controlled trial by Margolis et al.(1) to build upon Cleveland Clinic's existing team-based primary care provider (PCP) collaboration with pharmacists and advanced practice providers (APP) and will use a mechanism that allows titrating blood pressure medications based on patient-recorded home blood pressure readings.

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
