Framework. M.A.P. stands for Measure Accurately\, Act Rapidly\, and Partner with Patients\, Families and Communities. Acting rapidly to manage high blood pressure is a key component to Target: BP’s ability to improve blood pressure control. This is accomplished by using a combination of: an evidence-based treatment protocol\, having patients return frequently for follow-up until their blood pressure is controlled\, single-pill combination therapy and incorporating feedback metrics whenever possible to drive improvement for the care of patients. \nLearning Objectives \nList clinician and patient factors that contribute to therapeutic inertia\nUnderstand the benefits of using a standardized treatment protocol for people with high blood pressure\nReview the benefits of using single-pill combination anti-hypertensive therapy\nUnderstand why quality improvement programs that incorporate feedback metrics provide data that can drive improvement in blood pressure control URL:https://targetbp.org/event/target-bp-webinar-aug-23/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20180726T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20180726T130000 DTSTAMP:20260403T133659 CREATED:20180612T193713Z LAST-MODIFIED:20181027T002340Z UID:1591-1532606400-1532610000@targetbp.org SUMMARY:Target: BP Webinar - The Importance of Measuring Blood Pressure Accurately DESCRIPTION:This one-hour live webinar will train physicians\, and clinical teams on the “Measure Accurately” component of the M.A.P. Framework. M.A.P. stands for Measure Accurately\, Act Rapidly\, and Partner with Patients\, Families and Communities. Blood pressure variability\, poor blood pressure measurement technique and white-coat effect contribute to uncertainty about what a patient’s true blood pressure is. This uncertainty about the reliability of a patient’s blood pressure reading is a leading cause of clinicians failing to act to manage high blood pressure (therapeutic inertia). \nLearning Objectives \nDescribe accurate blood pressure measurement as the foundation for accurately diagnosing and managing high blood pressure\nDescribe the impact that unreliable blood pressure measurements can have on clinical decisions\nList factors (patient\, observer\, system) that can make blood pressure readings inaccurate and identify strategies to overcome those factors\nUse Measure Accurately tools to identify opportunities for improving accuracy and reliability of blood pressure measurement URL:https://targetbp.org/event/target-bp-webinar-july-26/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20180724T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20180724T120000 DTSTAMP:20260403T133659 CREATED:20180629T183042Z LAST-MODIFIED:20181027T002337Z UID:1596-1532430000-1532433600@targetbp.org SUMMARY:Webinar - Population Health Issues and Opportunities: Spotlighting High Blood Pressure DESCRIPTION:Improving population health requires health systems to take a tailored approach and re-prioritize their efforts to address the challenges of costly conditions impacting their communities. According to recent estimates from the American Heart Association\, 100 million Americans have high blood pressure\, and consequences of inadequate treatment include risk of cardiovascular disease\, stroke\, renal failure and early death\, as well as a high cost of care. Get practical tips to help put new clinical practice guidelines into action to improve the care of patients with high blood pressure. \nLearning Points \nDefine what population health means within the parameters of your own organization and community\nAddress the critical importance of focusing on high blood pressure as a major priority for health systems\nUnderstand the importance of population health strategies designed to diagnose and treat hypertension\nRecognize that one of the keys to improving hypertension care is to familiarize clinical and administrative health system leadership with the comprehensiveness of the 2017 ACC/AHA guidelines for high blood pressure URL:https://targetbp.org/event/webinar-july-24/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20180628T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20180628T130000 DTSTAMP:20260403T133659 CREATED:20180508T215824Z LAST-MODIFIED:20181027T002335Z UID:1577-1530187200-1530190800@targetbp.org SUMMARY:Target: BP Webinar - Lifestyle Interventions for the Treatment and Prevention of Hypertension DESCRIPTION:This one-hour live webinar that will train physicians\, their care teams and other Target: BP participants on the nonpharmacological interventions effective for the prevention and treatment of hypertension.
