Process of Engaging Community and Scientific Partners in the Development of the CIRCL-Chicago Study Protocol
The proposed research has the potential to improve identification, diagnosis, and control of blood pressure among under-resourced communities by connecting community entities and healthcare organizations in new ways. Faith-based organizations are a trusted voice in African American communities that could be instrumental for eliminating disparities
Planning the Implementation of a Multilevel Blood Pressure Control Intervention in Chicago
Clinic-level barriers to the diagnosis and treatment of hypertension, such as competing priorities and resource constraints, are exacerbated by community-level stressors. Community members and clinicians agreed that it is important to select implementation strategies that leverage and enhance both community- and clinic-based resources
Variability in comorbidites and health services use across homeless typologies
Differences in behavioral-health conditions and health-system use across homeless typologies highlight the particularly high burden among homeless who are disconnected from homeless services. Fragmented and high use of emergency departments for care should motivate health systems and payers to promote housing solutions, especially those that incorporate substance use and mental health treatment

Effects of 2 Forms of Practice Facilitation on Cardiovascular Prevention in Primary Care
BACKGROUND: Effective quality improvement (QI) strategies are needed for small practices. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to compare practice facilitation implementing point-of-care (POC) QI strategies alone versus facilitation implementing point-of-care plus population management (POC+PM) strategies on preventive cardiovascular care. DESIGN: Two arm, practice-randomized, comparative effectiveness study. PARTICIPANTS: Small and mid-siz…
Communicating Chaplains’ Care
Chaplaincy care is different for every patient; a growing challenge is to ensure that electronic health records function to support personalized care. While ICU health care teams have advanced clinical practice guidelines to identify and integrate relevant aspects of the patient's story into whole person care, recommendations for documentation are rare. This qualitative study of over 400 free-text EHR notes offers unique insight into current use …
Improving Hypertension Quality Measurement Using Electronic Health Records
BACKGROUND: Simple hypertension outcome measures may not indicate which patients receive poor care. This could be problematic as incentives increase. OBJECTIVE: Compare measured quality using simple outcome measures to more sophisticated measures utilizing data available within an electronic health record. DESIGN: Cross-sectional study. SUBJECTS: A total of 5905 hypertensive adults with 3 or more clinic visits between July 1, 2005 and December 31…
