Summary

This project will develop and test a low-cost approach to using health information technology and home monitoring aimed at improving care for chronic conditions, with low barriers to adoption in a wide variety of settings - from large group practices using state-of-the-art electronic health records to small practices with no more than a computer with internet access. Success will lead to a cost-effective approach to improving control of hypertension, both among individuals with diabetes and among non-diabetics, which can make a substantial contribution to the health of the population of the United States as improving hypertension control is estimated to have a greater population health benefit than most other health interventions. Success will also set the stage for adaptation of this intervention to a variety of other chronic health conditions and further substantial improvements in the health of millions of Americans.

Interventions

OTHER

Self-monitoring-nurse-primary care provider feedback loop

Intervention participants will receive an Omron BP monitor and assistance in setting it up to upload BP data to Reliant Medical Group from a home/work or clinic-based computer. They will be encouraged to upload readings at least once/month. Diabetes management nurses will receive the readings and, if a participant's mean BP is not at target, will follow protocols to address this, contacting PCPs as indicated by protocols.
