Who should watch this webinar?
Clinical care, quality improvement, and operations staff from clinics who are involved in efforts to improve blood pressure control among patients with hypertension.
our takeaways:
- Kaiser Permanente Southern California has found that the key drivers of blood pressure are:
- Competency of staff to measure blood pressure
- Intensification of treatment
- Follow up on high blood pressure
- Treatment intensification is the most important driver, and provider feedback should include measures of treatment intensification performance.
- The commonly held belief that patients need to adhere to treatment before treatment intensification is a barrier to effective treatment intensification.
