Summary

New sustainable models of patient-focused and team-based care for patients with hypertension should be developed to achieve health improvements and cost-efficiency.

The aim of this project is to evaluate new ways of sustainable hypertension (HT) management in primary care, starting with a pilot study at 2 Primary Health Care Centres (PHCCs).

At intervention PHCCs cardiovascular risk is assessed with SCORE2 for all hypertension patients. The staff receives education on HT treatment and an easy-to-follow treatment protocol. Non-physicians lead patient education on HT in groups. Patients receive a home blood pressure (BP) monitor and communicate digitally with the assigned nurse on medication update, blood and urinary tests and follow up. The nurse consults with the physician if needed. Regular face to face visits with the physician are only scheduled for patients with high cardiovascular risk or end organ damage, otherwise for all patients if needed.

At the control PHCs hypertension care continues as usual. All participants will be asked to complete questionnaires after 6 and 24 months.

Outcomes are feasibility for the pilot study and the proportion of patients reaching BP target plus change in systolic BP, cardiovascular risk factors, patients´ and staff´s grade of satisfaction and knowledge, and health care costs for the main study, compared between intervention and control PHCCS. Results will help to establish sustainable models of treating HT patients in Primary Care.
