Description

Improving performance for the HEDIS Controlling Blood Pressure measure can be challenging in large, multispecialty medical group practices. For multispecialty medical groups to succeed in quality measures that consider all patient appointments, it is essential to engage both specialty and primary care clinics. Involving the entire clinic operation is critical to success.
After completing workflow assessments and data analysis, Warren Clinic developed a comprehensive plan to improve blood pressure control that addressed staff learning needs, engaged providers and offered meaningful staff incentives. As a result, performance on the measure improved by 13.2% (covering 56,000 patients).
