Numerous studies have demonstrated the value of team-based care to improve blood pressure (BP) control but there is limited information on whether these models would be adopted in diverse populations. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether a collaborative model between physicians and pharmacists can improve BP control in multiple primary care medical offices with diverse geographic and patient characteristics and whether long-term BP control can be sustained. This study is a randomized prospective trial in 27 primary care offices first stratified by the percent of under-represented minorities and the level of clinical pharmacy services within the office. Each medical office was then randomized to either a 9 or 24 month intervention or to a control group. Patients will be enrolled in this study until 2012. The results of this study should provide information on whether this model can be implemented in large numbers of diverse offices, if it is effective in diverse populations and whether BP control can be sustained long-term.
