2.17.2015 Controlling High Blood Pressure for People with Hypertension (CBPH) In the Controlling High Blood Pressure for People with Hypertension specifications, there are three rates in the description. In the clinical file layouts, only one rate is included. Is this intentional?

No. The two additional rates were inadvertently left out of the clinical file layouts. Three rates should be reported for this measure:

  • The percentage of non-diabetic members 18-59 years with a diagnosis of hypertension whose blood pressure was adequately controlled (<140/90 mm Hg) during the measurement year.
  • The percentage of non-diabetic members 60-85 years with a diagnosis of hypertension whose blood pressure was adequately controlled (<150/90 mm Hg) during the measurement year.
  • The total rate.

Revised Clinical File Layouts have been posted for health plans and physician organizations (http://iha.org/manuals_operations_2014.html), to reflect this change.
