Abstract
THE NATIONAL Committee for Quality Assurance plans to include hypertension (HTN) control as a testing measure on its report card, which is widely used throughout managed care to assess and compare quality of care.1-4 However, provider organizations generally do not know how well blood pressure (BP) is controlled in their populations, and there is no established method for obtaining this information.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
