EDUCATION Quarterly BP Measurement Technique Patient Education Materials Trainings • Medical Assistants (MAs) participate in ongoing educational sessions • Includes: • Overview of BP • Cuff sizing • Patient positioning • Automatic BP machines • Manual readings

TREATMENT & COUNSELING AHA HBP Algorithm Including: • Patient education • Medication titration • Lifestyle modifications Lowry Anschutz • Physician paired with a trained RN • Pharmacy • Collaborate & manage complex hypertensive • Recheck & review patients • Encourage Self-monitoring • RN provides education & support via telephone / MHC • Recheck & review
SELF MONITORING Home BP Checks No Co-Pay BP Checks • Encouraged self-monitoring as part of Summary n % treatment via the MD/ RN HTN clinic and the Total # no-charge BP Checks 94 Pharmacy HTN clinic # Unique patients 84 BP =< 140/90 57 60.6% Escalated to RN 32 34.0% Escalated to MD 2 2.1% Sent to ED 1 1.1%

Uncontrolled Patients: A Deep Dive Hypertensive Patients with Uncontrolled BP Reasons Patients Were Not Actionable (N=173) (N = 144) BP is adequately controlled in Primary Care/ home 2, 1% 1, 1% measurement 4, 3% Patient did not follow up 29, 17% 13, 9% Provider is actively intervening on patient. (lifestyle 47, 33% modifications or med titration) 14, 10% Following PCP's most recent intervention, BP is now controlled 144, 83% Medication non-adherence 28, 19% Other medical issues have taken priority Uncontrolled patients who are NOT actionable No longer a patient with this Uncontrolled patients who are actionable and may benefit from an 35, 24% provider/ clinic intervention Patient refused intervention
In In Summary ry • Push individualized bi-monthly data to providers • Focused work with residents • Patient education materials • Training for MAs • Outreach • AHA HBP Algorithm • No co-pay BP checks • Home BP monitoring
Lessons Learned • Pursue improvement in multiple domains • Monitoring the multiple data streams used to support hypertension improvement is key for improvement work • Accurate panel attribution is imperative • Pushing actionable patient-level data is a meaningful exercise
Future Applications for Population Health Providers receive Automated process Dashboard actionable to push data patient-level data
