SM-7 Use of team-based care to better manage HBP CDU RCTs and meta-analyses of RCTs of team- based HBP care involving nurse or pharmacist intervention demonstrated reductions in SBP and DBP and/or greater achievement of BP goals when compared with usual care. SM-8 Use of telehealth, m-health, e-health, and other digital technologies to better diagnose and manage HBP CDU Meta-analyses of RCTs of different telehealth interventions have demonstrated greater SBP and DBP reductions and a larger proportion of patients achieving BP control than those achieved with usual care without telehealth. Table 8. Continued Measure No. Measure Title Attribution Rationale for Creating New Measure (Continued) 13 Field testing is needed to determine the utilization of new process and structural quality measures for the future development of new performance measures. This is especially true for lifestyle modifi- cations, shared decision making, and implementa- tion of a standardized protocol to consistently and correctly measure BP. Efforts to standardize BP data entry into electronic health records are needed to improve diagnosis and management of HBP. These include entering multiple readings and averages of readings, with electronic health record systems having the ability to perform the averaging function automatically for multiple BP readings within a visit and across 2 visits. Future HBP patient registries should include a broader range of races/ethnicities and incorporate data on other socioeconomic deter- minants of health, as well as patient engagement and activation, to better understand the impact of these variables on medication adherence and BP control. Continued research to examine temporal trends and disparities (with respect to sex, race/ethnic- ity, and socioeconomic status) in the achievement of performance and quality measures is critical for future revisions of these measure sets.
