Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Adults who identify as Black and have hypertension receiving care in participating NYU Langone primary care practices.
✕Less likely to help
Patients at non-participating sites or those not experiencing barriers addressed by the model may see limited direct benefit.
What this research studies
This project tests how to combine nurse case management, home blood pressure monitoring, and community health workers within primary care to overcome barriers like housing and transportation that affect Black patients with hypertension. It uses practice facilitators to support clinics as they adopt and sustain this integrated approach across 20 NYU Langone primary care sites. The goal is to see how well the Practice support And Community Engagement (PACE) model works in real-world settings, with a focus on improving blood pressure control among Black patients. The study emphasizes practical implementation in usual care, with collaboration among clinics, community boards, and Medicaid partners to address multilevel barriers.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the model could improve blood pressure control for Black patients by making integrated community and clinic support a routine part of care.
How similar studies have gone: Prior multi-level approaches show promise, but this study tests real-world implementation through a specific, scalable model (PACE) in a large urban healthcare network.
