PedsBP CDS Tool for High Blood Pressure
Trial Summary
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
If you are currently taking antihypertensive medication (medicine for high blood pressure), you cannot participate in this trial. The trial does not specify about other medications, so it's best to discuss with the trial team.
What data supports the effectiveness of the PedsBP CDS treatment for high blood pressure?
How does the PedsBP CDS Tool for High Blood Pressure differ from other treatments?
The PedsBP CDS Tool is unique because it likely involves a clinical decision support system that uses automated blood pressure measurement technology, which is different from traditional manual methods. This approach may provide more accurate and consistent blood pressure readings, helping to improve the management of high blood pressure in children.26789
What is the purpose of this trial?
The goal of the PedsBP CDS research project is to adapt a previously tested web-based clinical decision support tool that appropriately identifies high blood pressure in youth for use in a primarily rural health system and compare approaches to CDS implementation in 45 primary care clinics treating children in 3 upper Midwest states. This project will advance implementation science and address a critical need for youth at risk for cardiovascular disease and with limited access to pediatric subspecialty care.
