Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention: Team-based Care to Improve Blood Pressure Control

Summary of CPSTF Finding

The Community Preventive Services Task Force (CPSTF) recommends team-based care to improve patients’ blood pressure. Evidence shows team-based care increases the proportion of patients with controlled blood pressure and reduces systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure. Economic evidence indicates team-based care is cost-effective.

Intervention

Team-based care to improve blood pressure control is a health systems-level, organizational intervention that uses a multidisciplinary team to improve the quality of care. Team-based care is established by adding new staff or changing the roles of existing staff who work with a primary care provider.

Each team includes the patient, the patient’s primary care provider, and other professionals such as nurses, pharmacists, dietitians, social workers, and community health workers. Team members provide process support and share responsibilities of blood pressure control to complement the activities of the primary care provider. Responsibilities include medication management, patient follow-up, and adherence and self-management support.

Team-based care interventions typically include activities to do the following:

  • Facilitate communication and coordination of care support among various team members
  • Enhance the use of evidence-based guidelines by team members
  • Establish regular, structured follow-up mechanisms to monitor patients’ progress and schedule additional visits as needed
  • Actively engage patients in their own care by providing them with education about blood pressure (i.e., hypertension) medication, adherence support (for medication and other treatments), and tools and resources for self-management (including self-measured blood pressure monitoring and health behavior change)

CPSTF Finding and Rationale Statement

Read the full CPSTF Finding and Rationale Statement for details including implementation issues, possible added benefits, potential harms, and evidence gaps.

About The Systematic Review

The CPSTF recommendation is based on evidence from a review of 54 studies (search period January 2012 – June 2020). The systematic review was conducted on behalf of the CPSTF by a team of specialists in systematic review methods, and in research, practice, and policy related to cardiovascular disease prevention.

This recommendation updates and replaces the 2012 finding of strong evidence of effectiveness for team-based care to improve blood pressure control. This update focuses on evidence from studies published since 2012.

Summary of Results

Detailed results from the systematic review are available in the CPSTF Finding and Rationale Statement.

The systematic review included 54 studies.

  • The proportion of patients with controlled blood pressure increased by a median of 8.5 percentage points (39 studies).
  • Systolic blood pressure measurements were reduced by a median of 3.5 mmHg (44 studies).
  • Diastolic blood pressure measurements were reduced by a median of 2.1 mmHg (35 studies).

Summary of Economic Evidence

Detailed results from the systematic review are available in the CPSTF Finding and Rationale Statement.

A systematic review of economic evidence shows team-based care interventions to improve blood pressure control are cost-effective, based on a median cost per quality adjusted life year (QALY) gained of $15,202, which is below a conservative threshold of $50,000.

The systematic economic review included 35 studies (search period January 2011 through January 2021). Monetary values are reported in 2020 U.S. dollars.

  • The median intervention cost per patient per year was $299 (29 studies).
  • The median change in healthcare cost per patient per year was a decrease of $140 (16 studies).
  • The median net cost (intervention cost plus change in healthcare cost) per patient per year was $133 (17 studies with 19 estimates). A positive value indicates the averted healthcare cost is less than the intervention cost.
  • 14 estimates were positive and 5 were negative.
  • The median return on investment (ROI) was –80% (14 studies with 14 estimates). ROI, from the health system perspective, is the ratio of the difference in averted health care cost and intervention cost to intervention cost. ROI is not favorable if the estimate is less than zero.
  • 10 estimates were negative and 4 were positive.
  • The median cost per quality-adjusted life year (QALY) gained was $15,202 (14 studies with 15 estimates).
    • Fourteen of 15 estimates were below a conservative $50,000 threshold, indicating cost-effectiveness.

Applicability

Based on the results from the review, findings should be applicable to patients with high blood pressure in the United States. Studies conducted in health care settings serving racial and ethnic minority populations found meaningful improvements in blood pressure control for Black or African American and Hispanic or Latino patients.

Evidence Gaps

CPSTF identified several areas that have limited information. Additional research and evaluation could help answer the following questions and fill remaining gaps in the evidence base. (What are evidence gaps?)

  • Which factors affect sustainability and intensity of team-based care interventions?
  • How should these interventions be used by systems of care?
  • Are there differences in the effectiveness and economic efficiency of these interventions when they include all patients with hypertension rather than limiting participation to those with uncontrolled blood pressure?
  • How does intervention effectiveness vary based on patients’ baseline rates of blood pressure control? At what baseline rate does team-based care become an inefficient intervention for improving blood pressure control in a patient population?
  • What are the effects of adding digital interventions and innovative use of technology-enabled resources to team-based care? Specifically, what are the benefits associated with patients’ use of web portals and mobile technology?
  • How do costs and reimbursement mechanisms impact the effectiveness of team-based care?
  • What are the long-term effects of team-based care on morbidity and mortality outcomes? More studies of longer duration are needed to capture effects.
  • Is the intervention cost-effective over 5- to 10-year time horizons?
  • What are the economic outcomes for interventions implemented in rural areas?
  • How do interventions affect productivity of patients at their worksites?
  • What are the development, implementation, and training costs associated with the intervention?

Study Characteristics

  • Study designs included randomized controlled trials (27 studies), non-randomized trials (2 studies), other designs with a concurrent comparison group (1 study), retrospective and other cohorts (9 studies), time series (4 studies), and before-after without control (11 studies).
  • Studies were conducted in the United States (38 studies), Australia (3 studies), Germany (2 studies), Hong Kong, China (2 studies), and the United Kingdom (2 studies); one each was done in Canada, Denmark, Italy, Netherlands, South Korea, Sweden, and Switzerland.
  • Team-based care members who worked with patients and primary care providers were predominately nurses (22 studies), pharmacists (13 studies), or both (7 studies).
  • Team members commonly provided health behavior counseling, coaching, or education to support blood pressure management (18 studies), medication adherence (19 studies), or lifestyle activities (31 studies).
  • Primary care providers most often communicated with one or more team members through electronic medical records (27 studies) or direct team communication (22 studies).

Analytic Framework

Effectiveness Review

When starting an effectiveness review, the systematic review team develops an analytic framework. The analytic framework illustrates how the intervention approach is thought to affect public health. It guides the search for evidence and may be used to summarize the evidence collected. The analytic framework often includes intermediate outcomes, potential effect modifiers, potential harms, and potential additional benefits.

Economic Review

The economic review team develops an analytic framework to align economic outcomes with each stage of the effectiveness review analytic framework. It informs the economic research questions and may be used to summarize the evidence for intervention cost, economic benefit, cost-effectiveness, and cost-benefit.

Implementation Resources

CDC’s Division for Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention developed an implementation resource to help communities and health systems implement team-based to improve blood pressure control.

Building Team-based Partnerships
Developed by the American Pharmacists Association, this resource outlines ways pharmacists can strengthen their approach to build and implement pharmacy services in team-based care models.

Search Strategies

Effectiveness Review

The Community Preventive Services Task Force finding is based on evidence from a systematic review published in 2006 (Walsh et al., search period January 1980-July 2003) and a more recent Community Guide review (search period July 2003-May 2012). In updating the evidence, The Community Guide used the same search strategy that was used for the Walsh 2006 review. The following databases were searched from 1980 up to 2012 to identify studies of team-based care: MEDLINE and the Cochrane Effective Practice and Organization of Care (EPOC) registry.

The same search strategy was used for the period 2012 2019 and again for an update through to August 2020.

Economic Review

A research librarian searched for published studies in the following databases: Medline, CINAHL, EconLit, Cochrane. Additional studies were identified via suggestions from subject matter experts and hand-searches from reference lists. Studies searched and screened for inclusion were published in English from January 2011 through January 2021 and were limited to countries with high income economies as defined by the World Bank.

Search terms and strategies were adjusted to each database, based on controlled and uncontrolled vocabularies and search software.

Considerations for Implementation

The following considerations for implementation are drawn from studies included in the existing evidence review, the broader literature, and expert opinion, as noted below.

Several resources offer guidance on the use and translation of team-based care interventions to control blood pressure.

  • The Surgeon General’s Call to Action to Control Hypertension (2020) provides team-based care strategies to promote and optimize care for blood pressure control.
  • The Best Practices Guide for Cardiovascular Disease Prevention from CDC’s Division of Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention describes and summarizes scientific evidence behind eight effective strategies health care systems can implement with communities to help patients lower blood pressure and cholesterol. The guide is a resource for state and local health departments, decision makers, public health professionals, and others interested in using proven strategies to improve cardiovascular health. Specific information is available on team-based care, its effectiveness, and strategies for implementation.
  • The Hypertension Control Change Package from Million Hearts presents a list of process improvements that outpatient clinical settings can implement to promote blood pressure control. It is composed of change concepts, change ideas, and evidence- or practice-based tools and resources.

The CPSTF recommends the following intervention approaches that complement this one.
