Management of hypertension in primary care safety-net clinics in the United States: a comparison of community health centers and private physicians' offices.
The researchers examined adherence to guideline-concordant hypertension treatment practices at community health centers (CHCs) compared with private physicians' offices.: Medicaid patients at CHCs were as likely as privately insured individuals to receive a new medication for uncontrolled hypertension, whereas Medicaid patients at private physicians' offices were less likely to receive a new medication.
