Please prepare and attach a short summary paragraph (<1 page);
if this is new:
a.

Be sure to include the purpose of the project, specific details about the project and the role of the CDC staff member
(s) in the project. In explaining one's role as a consultant be particularly careful to identify involvement in things
like: study design decisions, oversight of protocol development, participation in review of data collection procedures,
and particpation in data analysis and/or manuscript preparation, as well as whether there will be access to
identifiable or personal data.

b.

Explain your project status selection (research--non-exempt, exempt, no CDC investigator or not involving human
subjects; public health practice). If you selected research not involving human subjects be sure to indicate if the data
includes any personal information (e.g., name, SSN), linkable study identification numbers or codes, or geographical
information.
Million HeartsTM is a national initiative to prevent 1 million heart attacks and strokes by 2017. Achieving this goal means that
10 million more Americans must have their blood pressure under control. Million HeartsTM is working to reach this goal
through clinical approaches, such as using health information technology to its fullest potential and integrating team-based
approaches to care, as well as community approaches. To support improved clinical practice, CDC is announcing a Million
Hearts™ Hypertension Control Challenge. Through this challenge we shall identify clinicians, practices and health systems
that are able to demonstrate high levels of hypertension control within their patient population and document the systems and
processes that contribute to exemplary practice. The challenge will reward and recognize a small number clinicians and
health systems that are able to achieve exemplary results.
Clinical practices and health systems will self-nominate through an online portal by providing hypertension control data, a
summary of their patient population and a description of sustainable clinical and support systems. Nominations will be scored
using predetermined criteria and a scoring rubric and reviewed by an expert panel of judges. Finalists will participate in data
verification that will involve onsite or remote record review by a third party and/or confirmation with data submitted to a known
source, such as NCQA. Recognized champions will participate in the development of a success story product to be shared
broadly with public health and clinical audiences.
CDC staff will develop challenge rules and criteria, data collection tools, and selection criteria. CDC staff will consult on data
storage and confidentiality, any data analyses conducted, and record review protocols. The expert panel of judges will be
chaired and partially comprised of CDC staff. An OMB Information Collection Request has been submitted. A contractor will
be identified to develop and manage the challenge entry site with CDC oversight.
This project is considered public health practice. Then intent is to identify and share examples of clinical systems and
practices that support high rates of hypertension control in a narrative or documentary format. No individual patient level data
will be collected, only practice-level summary data. No generalizable knowledge will emerge from this project, only examples
of successful practices that can be adopted or adapted by clinic systems and providers. A manuscript is not planned at this
time. Information and success stories will be disseminated through web-based products.
