3) Adults 60 85 years of age, without a diagnosis of diabetes mellitus, whose blood pressure was <150/90 mmHg (likely to be lowered in 2018 to <140/90 mmHg). Data in graph from National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA).6 HBP indicates high blood pressure; HEDIS, Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set; HMO, health maintenance organization; and PPO, preferred provider organization. 10 The writing committee developed this new category of 10 structural measures in hopes that they could be imple- mented within a CDU at any level of the health system to assess strengths and weaknesses of available infrastructure designed to improve accurate diagnosis and management of patients with HBP, again in accordance with relevant rec- ommendations from the 2017 Hypertension Clinical Prac- The writing committee emphasizes that expecting the structural measures to be interpreted as rigid requirements for CDUs would not permit the high level of flexibility these diverse entities need to use these mea- sures for their own self-assessment and collaborative qual- ity improvement implementation initiatives. Hence, these new measures are currently not designed or intended to be used for accountability standards but rather to be used as a roadmap for solo/small physician offices, group practices, health systems, public health sites, accountable care organizations, and clinically integrated networks, etc., in their collective journeys to establish better and more standardized guideline-based systems of care for the many millions of patients with HBP across the United States. More detailed information on the specifications for these new performance, quality, and structural measures for care of patients with HBP is presented in Appendix A. 4.
