Summary

This trial will study how effective a remote, pharmacist-led cardiovascular risk service is in 12 hospitals with diverse patients.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for English or Spanish speakers who have visited the clinic in the past year and are currently managing diabetes with an HA1c of 9.0%+ or high blood pressure with a systolic reading of 150 mm Hg+. It's not open to those unable to consent, living in nursing homes, without a phone, diagnosed with short-term cancer prognosis, pregnant women, dementia patients, or planning to leave the clinic soon.
What is being tested?
The study is testing a remote cardiovascular risk service led by pharmacists across diverse hospitals. The aim is to see how well this service can be implemented in different settings and its effectiveness for patients with high blood pressure and diabetes.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this intervention involves a non-medical service focusing on cardiovascular risk management rather than medication or procedures, traditional side effects are not applicable. However, there may be indirect effects related to changes in health management.
