This past June, Housing Works Community Healthcare concluded their participation with CHCANYS as part of the NYSDOH Cardiovascular Health Project, aimed at leveraging quality improvement methodologies and promising practices to improve hypertension control. Since the start of their participation in the year-long cohort in June 2025, Housing Works collaborated with a CHCANYS Practice Facilitator to enhance their workflows surrounding screening for non-medical needs, utilization of data to inform provider interventions, and patients’ self-management of their hypertension levels.
As a result of their engagement in the project, the Center successfully piloted new initiatives that will continue to inform the sustainability of their hypertension-related efforts, including leveraging a Medical Residency intern to perform telephonic patient outreach and initiation of a remote patient monitoring program.
