Randomized Trial of Titrated Disease Management for Patients With Hypertension
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Booster/ low resource, Medium/Level 1 resource intensity, and 1 other intervention for Hypertension. Completed, enrolled 385 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This randomized clinical trial examines whether programs aimed at matching resources to patient hypertension (i.e. high blood pressure) control lead to greater reduction in systolic blood pressure (top number of blood pressure reading) than simply having maintenance phone calls in addition to usual care. Answering this question will provide important evidence concerning the overall goal of sustained long-term implementation of the disease management programs as part of patient aligned care teams in the Veterans Affairs and other healthcare systems.
