Improving Recognition and Management of Hypertension in Youth: Comparing Approaches for Extending Effective CDS for Use in a Large Rural Health System
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating PedsBP CDS for Hypertension. Completed, enrolled 41,054 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The goal of the PedsBP CDS research project is to adapt a previously tested web-based clinical decision support tool that appropriately identifies high blood pressure in youth for use in a primarily rural health system and compare approaches to CDS implementation in 45 primary care clinics treating children in 3 upper Midwest states. This project will advance implementation science and address a critical need for youth at risk for cardiovascular disease and with limited access to pediatric subspecialty care.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
The PedsBP CDS is a sophisticated web-based electronic health record (EHR)-linked tool that can be used to address barriers and improve the identification and management of elevated blood pressure (BP) and hypertension (HT) in children and adolescents by providing patient-specific clinical care recommendations in real time and in accordance with national guidelines for BP management in youth.
