What this trial measures
- Normalized percentage of achieving the highest possible score for blood pressure measurement techniqueUp to 48 months
Derived from an 11-item observation checklist with a maximum score of 11 points per observation (sample: all Medical Support Personnel who are trained to measure blood pressure for prenatal patients). The construct is fidelity to blood pressure measurement technique; a higher score represents an improvement in fidelity; the range for the checklist is 0-11 which will be translated into a normalized percentage from 0-100.
- Normalized percentage of achieving the highest possible score for documentation of delivery of patient education on hypertension.Up to 48 months
Derived from retrospective chart audits using a chart abstraction tool and scoring system with a maximum score of 2 points per chart (sample: 20 charts per clinic randomly selected from all pregnant patients who delivered up to 6-months prior to the data collection timepoint). The construct is fidelity to the patient education protocol; a higher score represents an improvement in fidelity; the range for the score is 0-2 which will be translated into a normalized percentage from 0-100.
