ABSTRACT
Treating patients with uncontrolled hypertension is a powerful intervention for reducing the risk of heart attack and stroke. Leveraging health information technology to identify patients with undiagnosed hypertension using algorithmic logic can be an effective approach for reaching hypertensive patients who may otherwise be overlooked. Despite evidence that this strategy can support favorable cardiovascular health outcomes in the safety-net healthcare setting, little is known about its implementation outside of targeted practice and research environments. In 2021-2022, Community Clinic Association of Los Angeles County and the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health collaborated on a mixed methods, organizational assessment of community health centers to better understand their practices and attitudes toward the use of algorithmic logic to identify patients with undiagnosed hypertension. Results from the assessment suggest that awareness and use of this approach are limited; numerous challenges are associated with its adoption and implementation.
