Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)
High blood pressure is a leading cause of preventable stroke and heart disease, with rural populations experiencing worse outcomes. In primary care, elevated blood pressure is often identified, but follow-up is not always consistent or timely. Disparities in blood pressure control also exist across racial and ethnic groups. This quality improvement project focuses on strengthening follow-up through nurse-led interventions, including home monitoring support, follow-up calls, and standardized clinic workflows. Improving consistency in care may increase blood pressure control and reduce preventable complications.
