The objectives of the study are: Aim 1: Compare the effects of two evidence-based strategies on lowering blood pressure and other outcomes important to patients: best-practice clinic-based care and home-based telehealth care. Hypothesis 1.1: Compared with patients in clinics assigned to clinic-based care, patients in clinics assigned to telehealth care will have a 5 mm Hg greater change in systolic blood pressure over 12 months of follow-up. Hypothesis 1.2: Compared with patients in clinics assigned to clinic-based care, patients in clinics assigned to telehealth care will report: a) fewer treatment side effects; b) better ratings of patient experience of hypertension care; and c) higher self-monitoring rates and confidence in self-care. Aim 2: Conduct an evaluation of the reach, adoption, implementation, and maintenance of the telehealth care and clinic-based care interventions using a mixed-methods approach supported by the RE-AIM framework and the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR).
