CHARMED: Comparing Hypertension Remote Monitoring Evaluation Redesign
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effectiveness of evidence-based, adapted, and tailored, patient-focused and clinic-focused strategies to improve blood pressure (BP) control in English- and Spanish-speaking patients with hypertension (HTN).

Active Comparator: Standard and One-time Training Patient level: Standard, automatic reminders Clinic level: One-time training |
Behavioral: Standard and One-time Training
Patient-level intervention: Patients in the standard group will receive automated reminder SMS text messages and remote BP monitoring.
Clinic-level intervention: Clinics in the one-time training group will receive one-time training on standard work and algorithms, audit and feedback, and panel-based outreach.

Experimental: Standard and Practice Facilitation Patient level: Standard, automatic reminders Clinic level: Regular, ongoing coaching |
Behavioral: Standard and Practice Facilitation
Patient-level intervention: Patients in the standard group will receive automated reminder SMS text messages and remote BP monitoring.
Clinic-level intervention: Clinics in the practice facilitation group will receive regular/ongoing training on standard work and algorithms, audit and feedback, and panel-based outreach.

Experimental: High-intensity and One-time Training Patient level: Personalized feedback Clinic level: One-time training |
Behavioral: High-intensity and One-time Training
Patient-level intervention: Patients in the high-intensity group will receive personalized feedback SMS text messages and remote BP monitoring.
Clinic-level intervention: Clinics in the one-time training group will receive one-time training on standard work and algorithms, audit and feedback, and panel-based outreach.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Change in systolic BP (clinic) [Baseline, 6 months]
Clinic-based BP readings in EHR
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Change in systolic BP (home) [Baseline, 6 months]
Home-based BP readings
- Patient activation and satisfaction [Baseline, 6 months]
Patients will complete the Patient Assessment of Chronic Illness Care (PACIC) survey of 20 questions regarding elements of the care of their chronic condition(s) over the last six months. Patients answer using a Likert scale of answers ranging from 1-5, with 1 signifying "Almost Never" and 5 signifying "Almost Always".
- Number of participants with BP control [Baseline, 6 months]
<140/90mmHg, at the patient level within the EHR
- Medication intensification when BP is uncontrolled [Baseline, 6 months]
Number of classes of anti-hypertensive medications prescribed per patient
- Patient-reported medication adherence [Baseline, 6 months]
Patients will complete the 4-item Krousel-Wood Medication Adherence Scale (M-Wood-MAS-4). The scale score is calculated by summing the points for the 4 questions (scale score ranges from 0 to 4, with higher score indicating worse adherence); low adherence on the K-Wood-MAS-4 is defined as a score ≥1.
