Improving Health Outcomes: Blood Pressure Program in Practice Sites Located in the Chicago Metropolitan Area and in Maryland
This quality improvement project is focused on improving hypertension care delivery
processes in ambulatory clinical practices, 5 in Illinois and 5 in Maryland for a total of
10 practice sites.The primary aim of this quality improvement project is to improve blood
pressure control among patients receiving routine care for hypertension in a diverse group
of ambulatory clinical practices. A secondary aim is for American Medical Association (AMA)
and Johns Hopkins Medicine (JHM) quality improvement staff to figure out the best way to
help clinical practices in achieving improved blood pressure control, including working to
increase the use of home blood pressure monitoring.
