Abstract
Hypertension (HTN) in the United States (US) is prevalent with African Americans suffering from increased disease burden and negative health sequalae when compared to other racial/ethnic groups. A team-based approach to HTN care has been found in literature to support BP control among the African American population. The aim of this QI project was to increase knowledge among healthcare providers and organizational leadership of factors that may contribute to poor BP control in African Americans at this organization in order to close racial/ethnic gaps in health status and promote health equity.
