Lower the Pressure Initiative

The American Heart Association invites you to submit a Practice Assessment for consideration for the year two practice cohort of Lower the Pressure (a full PDF of the questions is available here (attached)). The American Heart Association is expanding its outpatient quality improvement efforts across New York State through the Lower the Pressure initiative, thanks to the generous funding and support of the Mother Cabrini Health Foundation.

The purpose of this Practice Assessment is to better understand the current activities and readiness level at your Health Care Organization (HCO) regarding:

  1. Hypertension-related healthcare quality improvement activities and resources,
  2. Blood Pressure Self-Monitoring (SMBP) and/or Blood Pressure Loaner programs,
  3. Other identified areas of need to help inform implementation.

All completed Practice Assessments will be reviewed, and you may be contacted for additional information as cohort selections are made in early December. Completing this Practice Assessment does not guarantee selection into the practice cohort, equipment, or financial support from the American Heart Association.

Complete the practice assessment online by Friday, November 18, 2022.
