Currently, most EHRs and registries do not have a specific mapping of sufficient elements to allow the accurate recording and attribution of BPs. The intention of this SM is to provide guidance to EHR and registry vendors to support fluid data flow between the EHR and the registry, using existing established structured data elements. Potential additional benefits and characteristics of using properly configured EHRs and registries include: CDS-based algorithms that support evidence-based guideline recommendations for accurate measurement, risk assessment, diagnosis, classification, and appropriate treatment for patients with or at risk of HBP. 2. Properly vetted reminders and alerts for both clinicians and patients to ensure follow-up appointments, patient engagement, and adherence to GDMT. Compliance with current national interoperability standards to facilitate exchange of information, including the timely transmission of digital data from BP measurement and monitoring devices. 4. Easy extraction of data needed for advanced analytic approaches to accurate classification and treatment of populations with or at risk of HBP. Accurate and automated extraction of necessary data elements for construction, benchmarking, auditing, and feedback to providers and external reporting (eg, to CMS, NCQA, commercial payers, quality improvement initiatives, and professional society accrediting bodies) of standardized performance and quality measures. 6. Facilitation of internal and external quality improvement initiatives, such as Target: BP (AHA and AMA) and The Million Hearts campaign (HHS, CDC). 7. Documentation of nonclinical data, such as social determinants of health, health literacy, and shared decision making.
