Improving Health Outcomes: Reducing Clinical Inertia for
Controlling Hypertension
The purpose of this webinar is to discuss the “Act rapidly”
component of the Improving Health Outcomes: Blood Pressure (IHO: BP) M.A.P.
framework, which is part of the IHO: BP curriculum, and explain how it
supports the achievement of optimal blood pressure control with the use of
IHO: BP program tools and materials.
CME Credits: 0.5
Objectives
After attending this webinar practices/health centers should be able to:
- Describe
how poor blood pressure variability, white coat effect, and poor blood
pressure measurement technique contribute to clinician uncertainty about
what a patient's true blood pressure is in the office setting.
- Describe
how clinical inertia and limited patient engagement contribute to
suboptimal blood pressure control rates.
- Demonstrate
how to use the "Act rapidly assessment tool" or “Partner with
patients assessment” tool to identify factors contributing to
uncontrolled hypertension at your practice or health center.
- Describe
common barriers that contribute to successfully overcoming clinical
inertia.
