An interventional study of Electronic personal health record in Hypertension, sponsored by Augusta University. Completed at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 21 Years to 80 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2011-03-17.
Sponsored by Augusta University · Not applicable and Interventional
Project Summary:
An electronic personal health record (ePHR) could maximize patient/clinician collaboration and consequently improve patient self-management and related health outcomes. The purpose of the proposed project is to examine the feasibility, acceptability, and impact of an ePHR that has been modified using a patient- and family-centered approach and incorporates the experiences, perspectives, and insights of patients and family members actually using the system. Comparison of patients with the ePHR intervention to a group of "care as usual" patients will be performed. The investigators Specific Aims are: (1) To improve the application of patient- and family-centered care elements in an existing ePHR, based on feedback from a pilot study of patients and their families. The modified ePHR will be tested in a pilot group of patients with hypertension and their families. (2) To implement and test the effectiveness of the modified ePHR with patients being treated for hypertension by a team of physicians, mid-level practitioners, nurse clinicians, and support staff in two ambulatory settings. Outcome measures will include patient activation and perception of care, quantifiable biological markers, patient-physician communication, and congruence of treatment with guidelines, particularly medication management; (3) To monitor the shift in provider and support staff awareness and incorporation of patient- and family-centered care as a result of implementation of the ePHR using questionnaires and focus groups. If successful, this ePHR could be implemented in additional locations in the Southeast.

Other: Electronic personal health record
did not receive personal health record
Systolic blood pressure

Time frame: 9 months
Diastolic blood pressure
2 seated measures taken using manual sphygmometer by trained research associate
Time frame: 9 months
patient activation
Patients complete the validated paper-and-pencil Patient Activation Measure (PAM) developed by Judy Hibbard. The instrument assesses the degree to which a patient is "activated," that is the degree to which they are an active agent in their own health care, e.g. ask questions of their health care provider.
