Primary care clinic nurse activities with a telehealth monitoring system.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate differences in the types of nursing activities and communication processes reported in a primary care clinic between patients using a home-based monitoring system to electronically communicate self-monitored blood glucose and blood pressure values and those assuming usual care. Significant differences were identified for the direct care nursing activities of providing lifestyle and health education, medication adjustments, and patient follow-up, providing evidence of greater nursing activity reported in a primary care clinic in patients who utilized a home-based monitoring system.

Patient judgments about hypertension control: the role of variability, trends, and outliers in visualized blood pressure data.
Uncontrolled hypertension is a significant health problem in the United States, even though multiple drugs exist to effectively treat this chronic disease. As part of a larger project developing data visualizations to support shared decision making about hypertension treatment, the investigators conducted a series of studies to understand how perceptions of hypertension control were impacted by data variations inherent in the visualization of blood pressure (BP) data.

Incorporating patients' social determinants of health into hypertension and depression care: a pilot randomized controlled trial.
The objective of this study was to carry out a randomized controlled pilot trial to test the effectiveness of an integrated intervention for hypertension and depression incorporating patients' social determinants of health (enhanced intervention) versus an integrated intervention alone (basic intervention). The pilot trial results indicate integrated care management that addresses the social determinants of health for patients with hypertension and depression may be effective.

Stakeholder perspectives on changes in hypertension care under the patient-centered medical home.
The researchers investigated changes in hypertension care under patient-centered medical home (PCMH) implementation in a large multipayer PCMH demonstration project that may have led to improvements in hypertension control. They concluded that practices undergoing PCMH transformation may consider stakeholder perspectives about patient-centered, team-based, and systems-based approaches as they work to optimize hypertension care.

Specialty use among patients with treated hypertension in a patient-centered medical home.
The researchers described changes in outpatient specialty use among patients with treated hypertension during and after patient-centered medical home (PCMH) practice transformation. Their results suggest that more comprehensive primary care in this PCMH redesign enabled primary care teams to deliver more hypertension care, and that many needs of low morbidity patients were within the scope of primary care practice.
