Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

The purpose of this study was to determine whether financial incentives for guideline-recommended treatment of hypertension are effective. We hypothesized that patients with hypertension cared for by physicians or practice groups receiving financial incentives were more likely to be prescribed guideline-recommended anti-hypertensive medications and achieve Joint National Commission (JNC) 7 guideline-recommended blood pressure goals compared to patients who were treated by providers that did not receive financial incentives.
