Summary
The goal of the PedsBP CDS research project is to adapt a previously tested web-based clinical decision support tool that appropriately identifies high blood pressure in youth for use in a primarily rural health system and compare approaches to CDS implementation in 45 primary care clinics treating children in 3 upper Midwest states. This project will advance implementation science and address a critical need for youth at risk for cardiovascular disease and with limited access to pediatric subspecialty care.
