Team-based Implementation of Hypertension Management in Childhood Lupus

Sponsor: Boston Children's Hospital

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

The goal of this study is to compare the effectiveness of widely used implementation strategies to promote adherence to guideline-concordant evidence-based practices for monitoring and controlling blood pressure in patients with lupus who are in pediatric care. A total of 16 pediatric lupus care teams will be randomly assigned one or more of these implementation strategies. The investigators will determine which strategy is better at ensuring the evidence-based practices reach all patients as intended and concurrently gather additional information about health outcomes as they pertain to children with childhood-onset lupus.

Interventions

OTHER

Health Navigator Engagement

Adding a health navigator to the healthcare team to improve coordination among providers from different specialties and work closely with patients and their families. The health navigator acts as a bridge between families and the care team by helping facilitate care coordination, ensuring patient and family voices are heard, and explaining medical information in clear language. They also assist families with keeping track of medical appointments, connecting to local community resources, and providing extra support throughout the care process.

OTHER

Team Charter with Performance Monitoring

Care teams will work together to build clear plans that explain everyone's goals, roles, and daily responsibilities. The team will regularly check its performance data to see what is working well and what needs improvement. By making small, step-by-step changes over time, the team can continuously refine its approach until it reaches its goals.

OTHER

Pre-visit worksheet

Care teams will give patients and families a short worksheet to fill out before their appointment. This form helps them prepare to talk with their doctor about high blood pressure and heart disease risk. It helps patients and caregivers feel ready to ask questions and take an active role in planning their heart health care.
