Purpose

Patients with poorly controlled hypertension will have improved hypertensive control with telephone coaching and with telephone coaching combined with home-titration of medications.

Primary Outcome Measures:

Systolic blood pressure [ Time Frame: 6 months ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Diastolic blood pressure [ Time Frame: 6 months ]


Enrollment:	240
Study Start Date:	January 2009
Study Completion Date:	December 2011
Primary Completion Date:	February 2010 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)

Arms	Assigned Interventions
Active Comparator: Health coaching Phone patients every week to discuss medication adherence	Behavioral: Health coaching Calling patients every week to discuss medication adherence
Experimental: Health coaching plus home-titration Health coaches call patients every week to discuss medication adherence and to intensify medications if appropriate according to physician-created algorithm	Behavioral: Health coaching plus home titration Calling patients every week and intensifying medications if appropriate based on physician-created algorithm

Detailed Description:

Patients with poorly controlled hypertension are randomized to a control arm which receives telephone coaching or an active arm which receives telephone coaching plus intensification of medications via telephone coaching with the coaches using treatment algorithms approved by the patients' physician. These patients' blood pressure control will be compared with usual care patients in a passive arm (chart review only).
