Project Summary: Patient-provider relationships characterized by high levels of commitment and trust are central to delivering high quality care for improved hypertension (HTN)-related outcomes. Unfortunately, health disparity populations are least likely to be in patient-provider relationships characterized by high levels of commitment and trust leading to negative affective, behavioral and physiological patient outcomes including heightened anxiety during the interaction, medication non-adherence, and poor blood pressure (BP) control. COVID-19 not only highlighted these social inequities but also led to a rapid change of our health system – from mainly in-person to telehealth visits. While telehealth has shown great promise in improving the clinical management of HTN, its impact on patient-provider relationships is unclear. Some evidence suggests telehealth could strengthen these relationships through improved access to the care team, but its technical and interpersonal drawbacks may reduce commitment and trust. To address these gaps, this proposal will leverage the infrastructure established by our NIMHD-funded R01, which will support 10 primary care clinics in the integration of technology-facilitated team care (herein called ALTA) to improve medication adherence and BP control in health disparity populations. ALTA enhances standard in-person and telehealth visits with opportunities for patients and providers to interact via secure messaging through the electronic health record (EHR) and patient portals. While a central premise of ALTA is that it will build clinic capacity to deliver equitable, high-quality care to health disparity populations, it was not designed to evaluate the impact of healthcare technologies on patient- provider relationships. Guided by the multilevel NIMHD research framework, the proposed study will employ a mixed methods study design that links four data sources to rigorously evaluate the multilevel impacts of ALTA on relationship commitment (primary outcome), patient-provider trust (secondary outcome) and patient health outcomes (tertiary outcomes) across 10 primary care clinics and 700 patients with uncontrolled HTN (Aims 1 and 2). Our evaluation strategy will combine cognitive, affective and behavioral measures of the patient-provider relationship and patient outcomes to create a multifaceted view of how individual perceptions and actions of the partners change when ALTA is introduced. Specifically, validated self-report measures (e.g., State Anxiety Inventory) will be augmented by automated text analysis of audiotaped interactions and secure messaging using natural language processing techniques, and EHR-extracted data on clinic and home BP readings and medication adherence (i.e., pharmacy records). Aim 3 will explore potential contextual factors (e.g., equity; digital literacy; communication modality) that influence the relationship between ALTA and the interpersonal and patient-level outcomes using self-report and EHR-derived measures. Aim 4 will use the human centered design approach to systematically gather feedback from clinic stakeholders to identify best practices for effective technology-facilitated patient-provider relationships.

项目摘要：以高度承诺和信任为特征的患者与提供者关系 不幸的是，健康是提供高质量护理以改善高血压（HTN）相关结果的核心。 差异人群最不可能处于以高水平的患者与提供者关系为特征的关系中。 承诺和信任导致负面的情感、行为和生理患者结果，包括 互动过程中的焦虑、药物不依从性以及血压 (BP) 控制不佳。 COVID-19 不仅凸显了这些社会不平等，还导致我们的卫生系统发生了迅速变化——从 主要是面对面的远程医疗就诊，而远程医疗在改善临床方面表现出了巨大的希望。 HTN 的管理，其对医患关系的影响尚不清楚。一些证据表明远程医疗。 可以通过改善与护理团队的联系来加强这些关系，但其技术和 人际缺陷可能会减少承诺和信任。为了解决这些差距，本提案将利用杠杆作用。 由 NIMHD 资助的 R01 建立的基础设施将支持该地区的 10 个初级保健诊所 整合技术辅助的团队护理（本文称为 ALTA）以提高药物依从性和血压 ALTA 加强了标准的面对面和远程医疗就诊机会。 患者和提供者可以通过电子健康记录 (EHR) 和患者通过安全消息进行交互 ALTA 的核心前提是建设诊所提供公平、高质量护理的能力。 对于健康差异人群，它的目的不是评估医疗保健技术对患者的影响 在多层次 NIMHD 研究框架的指导下，拟议的研究将采用 混合方法研究设计，链接四个数据源以严格评估 ALTA 的多层次影响 关于关系承诺（主要结果）、患者-提供者信任（次要结果）和患者健康 10 个初级保健诊所和 700 名未受控制的高血压患者的结果（第三级结果）（目标 1 2) 我们的评估策略将结合患者提供者的认知、情感和行为测量。 关系和患者结果，以创建关于个人看法和行为如何的多方面观点 引入 ALTA 后，合作伙伴会发生变化，特别是经过验证的自我报告措施（例如，状态焦虑）。 库存）将通过录音交互的自动文本分析和使用安全消息传递来增强 自然语言处理技术，以及 EHR 提取的临床和家庭血压读数数据 药物依从性（即药房记录）将探索潜在的背景因素（例如公平；数字化）。 读写能力、沟通方式）影响 ALTA 与人际交往的关系 目标 4 将采用以人为本的设计。 系统地收集诊所利益相关者的反馈，以确定有效的最佳实践 技术促进患者与提供者的关系。
