Interventions

  • E3 Multidisciplinary Team — BEHAVIORAL
    The E3 Multidisciplinary team is composed of a remote pharmacist, social worker, and nurse working together with patients via a remote monitoring, educational hypertension phone app to overcome barriers to hypertension control via behavioral change, medication adherence and titration, diet and lifestyle education and resource referrals for social needs.
  • E3 Self-Guided Hypertension Education Program — BEHAVIORAL
    Patients will receive timed, mailed educational materials on hypertension self-monitoring, diet and lifestyle modifications to supplement usual clinic-based hypertension care with their primary care doctor. A research assistant will ensure patients have home blood pressure monitors on enrollment, and will remind patients to check their blood pressures and follow-up with their primary care doctors at 3 months and 6 months.

Study Details

This study aims to compare a multidisciplinary clinical hypertension and social needs intervention to enhanced standard of care for hypertension management in primary care clinics with regards to hypertension control outcomes.

Arms

  • Experimental: Hypertension Team Based Group
    A multidisciplinary team composed of a pharmacist, social worker, and nurse coupled to a self-monitoring blood pressure phone app will provide hypertension monitoring, medication titration, diet and lifestyle education, and referrals for social needs. The team will interact with the patients predominantly via tele-health remotely for 6 months.
  • Active Comparator: Hypertension Self-Guided Group
    A research assistant ensures patients in the self-guided group have a home blood pressure monitor on enrollment and will call patients at 3 and 6 months to ensure the blood pressure monitor is functioning correctly and to remind patients to check their blood pressure and follow-up with their primary care doctors. Patients will continue with standard clinical care for hypertension in addition to receiving timed, mailed educational materials on hypertension, remote monitoring, diet and lifestyle recommendations for 6 months.

Primary Outcome Measure

Systolic blood pressure change at 6 months [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
