Reducing clinical inertia failed to improve BP control; challenges assumption that inertia reduction alone suffices in primary care hypertension.
Does a multicomponent intervention targeting physician, patient, and office system factors reduce clinical inertia and improve blood pressure control in adult primary care patients with elevated BP?
A multicomponent primary care intervention successfully reduced clinical inertia but failed to significantly improve blood pressure control compared to usual care.
Huebschmann et al. (2012) studied this question.
