Reduce-bp

Many factors contribute to gaps in suboptimal blood pressure control and disease outcomes, including physician inertia, low patient adherence to prescribed antihypertensive medications and lifestyle. Reducing Ethnic and racial Disparities by improving Undertreatment, Control, and Engagement in Blood Pressure management with health information technology (REDUCE-BP) was a pragmatic randomized controlled trial conducted in partnership with Advocate Aurora Health. The trial was conducted at 24 clinics in the Chicago area and involved 555 primary care providers and 49,402 patients. It used a multicomponent intervention within the electronic health record to improve guideline concordance and address health-related social needs with the ultimate goal of improving disease control for individuals with uncontrolled hypertension. Results will be presented in 2025.
