NCT00935077

Brief Summary

The purpose of the study is to determine the degree to which pharmacist-physician collaborative management (PPCM) of hypertension can be adopted and implemented in clinics with geographic and racial diversity and whether patients in clinics which implement PPCM achieve greater blood pressure control than patients in clinics which do not implement PPCM. Primary Hypothesis: BP control at 9 months will be significantly greater in patients from clinics randomized to the two PPCM BP intervention groups compared to the control group.

Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • English or Spanish speaking males or females, over 18 years of age with a diagnosis of hypertension,
  • have uncontrolled BP defined as \> 140 mm Hg SBP or \> 90 mm Hg DBP for patients with uncomplicated hypertension; or \> 130 mm Hg SBP or \> 80 mm Hg DBP for patients with diabetes or chronic kidney disease, and
  • receive care from one of the participating clinics.

You may not qualify if:

  • current signs of hypertensive emergency (acute angina, stroke, or renal failure;
  • severe HTN (systolic BP \>200 or diastolic BP \> 114 mm Hg);
  • history of MI, stroke, or unstable angina in the prior 6 months;
  • systolic dysfunction with a LV ejection fraction \< 35% documented by echocardiography, nuclear medicine study, or ventriculography;
  • renal insufficiency, defined by a glomerular filtration rate less than 20 ml/min or previously documented proteinuria \> 1 gram per day;
  • significant hepatic disease, including prior diagnoses of cirrhosis, Hepatitis B or C infection, or laboratory abnormalities (serum ALT or AST \> 2 times control or total bilirubin \> 1.5 mg/dl) in the prior 6 months;
  • pregnancy;
  • diagnoses of pulmonary hypertension or sleep apnea (unless treated by continuous positive pressure ventilation);
  • poor prognosis with a life expectancy estimated less than 2 years;
  • residence in a nursing home or diagnosis of dementia; and
  • inability to give informed consent or impaired cognitive function (defined as \> 3 errors on the 10-item Pfeiffer Portable Mental Status Questionnaire, administered during study intake).
