Patient Navigator - Nurse Team Intervention
The patient navigator-nurse disease management intervention for treating hypertension and its associated cardiovascular risk factors will use information obtained in earlier phases of the LUCHAR grant: i.e., algorithms, risk factor profiles, and qualitative data from focus groups and interviews. The study will test the effect of this intervention on blood pressure control and utilization of hospital services in adult patients with hypertension.
