Abstract
Results of studies1-5 suggest that antihypertensive medications are frequently not intensified when blood pressure (BP) remains uncontrolled, termed clinical inertia. One strategy to improve BP control is team-based care involving clinical pharmacists.6-17 However, many of these investigations were small, single-site studies, did not use an unbiased BP measurement, or did not control for important patient, physician, or clinic variables.Keywords
