Towards a framework for better management of patients with hypertension.
Management of patients with hypertension is poor and novel tools are needed to identify patients whose clinical outcomes can be improved. We herein present a framework we have developed that can be used to identify patients who meet specific audit criteria related to poor management of hypertension. Identified patients would benefit from an immediate follow-up by a practice nurse.
