The impact of a measurement and feedback intervention on blood pressure control in ambulatory cardiology practice.
This study evaluated the impact of a targeted provider feedback intervention on rates of blood pressure control. Providers received quarterly provider-specific reports over a period of one year for a group of 300 patients treated in outpatient cardiology clinic practices. These reports as a stand-alone intervention did not affect overall BP control rates in cardiology clinics.

Patient-physician racial/ethnic concordance and blood pressure control: the role of trust and medication adherence.
The researchers examined the associations between racial/ethnic concordance and blood pressure (BP) control to determine whether patient trust and medication adherence mediate these associations. They found that higher levels of trust were associated with better medication adherence and a tendency toward better BP control, irrespective of patient–physician racial/ethnic concordance.
