Internet-based patient- primary care physician-cardiologist integrated management model of hypertension in China: study protocol for a multicentre randomised controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The control rate of hypertension is low in China, especially in rural, western and minority areas.

It is worth exploring how to most effectively integrate patients, primary care physicians and cardiologists in tertiary hospitals, to build a long-term mechanism for the prevention and treatment of hypertension. In this study, we aim to evaluate the clinical effectiveness and conduct a health economic evaluation of an internet-based patient-primary care physician-cardiologist integrated management model of hypertension in areas of Chi
