An interventional study of Systems Change (High Blood Pressure Strategy) in Hypertension, sponsored by Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario. Status unknown at 1 site in Canada. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2008-08-19.
Sponsored by Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario · Not applicable and Interventional
This program developed by the HSFO aims at helping people of Ontario and their primary healthcare providers better diagnose, manage and control high blood pressure. The High Blood Pressure Strategy brings together healthcare providers and patients to improve the way in which family doctors, nurse practitioners and pharmacists work together and with patients towards improved control of high blood pressure through the use of evidence-informed tools combined with local systems change.
Approximately 5,000 patients will participate in the study at 11 family practice sites throughout Ontario. Each of the 11 clinic sites will be randomised to either intervention or delayed intervention 9 months later. The intervention is a systems change involving interprofessional education and management tools to bring together physicians, nurses and pharmacists with the patient. Patients will be monitored by their family doctor or nurse practitioner at scheduled follow-up visits during a period of 36 months for an effect of the intervention over time on the patient's blood pressure.
