Dr. Tong reviewed the evidence-based hypertension guideline recommendations to determine appropriate blood pressure goals based on patient-specific factors. Jennifer Nappi, Ambra Dailey and Safiya Naidjate provided an overview of their quality improvement project to reduce hypertension-related ED visits and hospitalizations by optimizing blood pressure control among patients with hypertension and instituting a loner-system, self-management blood pressure program and effectively using team-based care to assist patients with meeting goals for hypertension control.
