Coral D HanevoldTammy M BradyPublished in: Current hypertension reports (2024)
Baseline data from the multi-center quality improvement intervention, "Boosting Primary Care Awareness and Treatment of Hypertension" (BP-CATCH), demonstrate that childhood hypertension remains underdiagnosed. Other studies confirm a lack of compliance with the process outlined in the CPG. The provision of electronic prompts, coaching, and education results in modest improvements. The combination of embedded medical record tools and education seems to offer the most hope for improvement.
