Providers should expect that many Veterans, Service Members, and their families will have one or more co-occurring health conditions. Because of the nature of HTN management, which sometimes takes place in parallel with ongoing care for co-occurring conditions, it is often best to manage HTN collaboratively with other care providers. Some co-occurring conditions may require early specialist consultation in order to discuss any necessary changes in treatment or to establish a common understanding of how care will be coordinated and delivered. VA/DoD CPGs exist for CKD,1 obesity and overweight,3 I. Implementation This CPG and algorithm are designed to be adapted by individual healthcare providers with consideration of local needs and resources. The algorithms serve as tools to prompt providers to consider key decision points during an episode of care. Although this CPG represents the recommended practices on the date of its publication, medical practice is evolving and requires ongoing awareness by providers of newly published information. New technology and additional research will improve patient care in the future. The CPG can assist in identifying priority areas for research and informing optimal allocation of resources. Future studies examining the results of CPG implementation may lead to the development of new evidence particularly relevant to clinical practice. 1 See the VA/DoD Clinical Practice Guideline for the Management of Chronic Kidney Disease.
