This quality improvement project is focused on improving hypertension care delivery processes in ambulatory clinical practices, 5 in Illinois and 5 in Maryland for a total of 10 practice sites.The primary aim of this quality improvement project is to improve blood pressure control among patients receiving routine care for hypertension in a diverse group of ambulatory clinical practices. A secondary aim is for American Medical Association (AMA) and Johns Hopkins Medicine (JHM) quality improvement staff to figure out the best way to help clinical practices in achieving improved blood pressure control, including working to increase the use of home blood pressure monitoring.

This quality improvement project will be conducted in 10 ambulatory practice sites that are distinguished by their medical specialty and practice size. There are 9 diverse sites that specialize in family medicine and internal medicine. One site is a cardiology practice. Practices range in size from a mid-size medical group to a single-physician practice. The total number of physicians participating in this project is between 40 and 50. The sites are located in various neighborhoods in the Chicago and Baltimore metropolitan areas and in rural Maryland. The patient populations of the sites are representative of the United States population.
