NR 506 NP Week 3 Quality Healthcare: Controlling Hypertension Chamberlain University College of Nursing NR506NP: Healthcare Policy and Leadership Dr. Michelle Keating-Sibel March 22, 2020 Quality Healthcare: Controlling Hypertension Hypertension is known as the silent killer and often goes undetected. With the potential risk of causing kidney damage, myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, or cerebrovascular accident, having an elevated blood pressure should not be taken lightly. Given the significance of managing adequate blood pressure levels, it is no surprise that the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) included controlling high blood pressure into the Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS) under the effectiveness of care category (National Committee for Quality Assurance, 2020). By examining patient interventions for controlling high blood pressure and evaluating methods family nurse practitioners (FNP) can use to measure outcomes, one can begin to understand how these primary care interventions result in improved patient outcomes and cost savings for the practice, as well as result in improved patient ratings.
