Overview
Brief Summary
This is a randomized, controlled, pragmatic trial designed as a "type I hybrid effectiveness-implementation trial" that tests a hypertension program integrating a virtual Collaborative Care Clinic (vCCC), home blood pressure monitoring, and telehealth for lowering blood pressure (BP) in two health systems.
Detailed Description
This study tests a hypertension program integrating a virtual Collaborative Care Clinic (vCCC), home blood pressure monitoring, and telehealth for lowering blood pressure (BP) in two health systems (University of Kansas Health System \[UKHS\] and the University of Utah Health \[UUtah\]). The vCCC is staffed by clinical pharmacists who remotely monitor home BP and use telehealth to work with patients to lower systolic blood pressure (SBP) to \<130 mmHg, as recommended by the current American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) guidelines. Eligible patients with uncontrolled hypertension (HTN) are identified automatically through the electronic health record (EHR) during visits to their Primary Care Provider (PCP) and referred for enrollment into the vCCC.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) Control At 24 Months
Time Frame: 24 months.
Our primary outcome is achieving SBP control (\<130 mmHg). Blood pressure measures will be collected in a dashboard system and will be integrated into the common data model table for final analysis. Investigators will utilize the Benjamini-Hochberg approach to control for multiple testing in our primary outcome.
