4Treatment groups

Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: Equity Dashboard, Population Health Coordinator and Community Health Worker SupportExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

After the step in which the primary care providers are randomized to receiving intervention, one group of providers will receive the equity dashboard data and complete an equity huddle where they will review their list of eligible patients (Black, Indigenous and People of Color [BIPOC] patients and patients with limited English proficiency [LEP]) with a population health coordinator (PHC). The goal of the equity huddle will be to develop a plan to improve eligible patients' hypertension control. One of the options will be to refer patients to a community health worker (CHW) program focused specifically on addressing hypertension.

Group II: Equity Dashboard and Population Health Coordinator SupportExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

After the step in which the primary care providers are randomized to receiving intervention, a second group of providers will receive the equity dashboard data and complete an equity huddle where they will review their list of eligible patients (Black, Indigenous and People of Color [BIPOC] patients and patients with limited English proficiency [LEP]) with a population health coordinator (PHC). The goal of the equity huddle will be to develop a plan to improve eligible patients' hypertension control.

Group III: Delayed interventionActive Control1 Intervention

Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) patients and patients with limited English proficiency (LEP) before their primary care providers are randomized to receiving the intervention. (By the end of the 12 steps, all BIPOC/LEP patients will be assigned to an experimental group)

Group IV: Usual CareActive Control1 Intervention

Patients who are not eligible for additional clinical support (i.e. White and English speaking patients).
