Project IMPACT: CHW Intervention

The Goal of this study is that:

1. EHR-based decision support and performance feedback interventions will be more effective
in improving hypertension control for South Asian patients than standard care;

2. A combined EHR-CHW intervention will be more effective in improving hypertension control
for South Asian patients compared to standard care and the EHR-based intervention

Investigators hope to implement and assess the efficacy of CHW-led coaching through promotion
of team-based care and use of culturally tailored education to improve hypertension control
and mitigate risk factors related to CVD among South Asian patients with uncontrolled
hypertension. Study findings can provide translatable and scalable models for other limited
English proficient communities.
