Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Adults with hypertension in Black communities receiving care at participating NYU Langone primary practices in NYC.
✕Less likely to help
Patients in settings outside the participating clinics or with conditions limiting participation may see no direct benefit.
What this research studies
This project tests how to bring proven blood pressure tools into real-world primary care for Black patients facing barriers like housing and transportation. It uses a team-based approach that combines nurse case management, home blood pressure monitoring, and community health workers to connect patients with needed services. Practice facilitators will guide 20 NYU Langone Health primary care clinics to implement this integrated model called PACE, aiming to make HTN control more achievable in everyday settings. The study will measure how well this approach is adopted and sustained in routine care, with input from a community-advisory board and NY's Medicaid payer partner.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, patients could experience better blood pressure control through a more coordinated, accessible care model.
How similar studies have gone: Previous work shows nurse case management, home BP monitoring, and CHW support improve HTN care, and this study tests their integrated, real-world delivery.
