Study Summary

This trial compares how well team-based care works in 90 primary care practices with and without extra help.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for small-to-medium primary care practices with 1-5 healthcare providers and at least 2 non-physician staff. They must use an EHR system, have over 200 patients with hypertension, not be involved in other CVD initiatives, and agree to a 'physician champion' leading the intervention.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests Practice Facilitation's impact on adopting team-based care for managing high blood pressure within independent primary care practices. It randomly assigns when each practice starts the intervention in a stepped-wedge design.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves organizational changes rather than medical treatments, there are no direct side effects like those seen with medications. However, there may be indirect impacts on workflow or staff satisfaction.
