What Are the Treatments Tested in This Trial?
Trial Overview
The study is testing a tech-based approach to help manage blood pressure. This includes using home BP monitors, patient navigators, online tools, brief training sessions, and easy-to-understand educational materials.
How Is the Trial Designed?

Experimental Treatment
Active Control
In addition to the CDS and home blood pressure monitor that usual care patients receive, REACH-OUT patients will receive \[1\] health literacy-informed patient education materials, \[2\] orientation to using the blood pressure monitor and portal tools, \[3\] the MeDS assessment, and \[4\] patient navigator support if needed.
Clinical decision support (CDS) will be embedded in the EHR. CDS will be triggered during all routine primary care visits for eligible patients who are seeing a physician or Advanced Practice Provider. CDS will prompt clinicians to review prescribed antiHTNs and contraceptives to identify any contraindications and to counsel patients on the importance of antiHTN adherence and BP control for reproductive-aged women.
