Summary
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas has published quality measure tracking guidelines for heart health, focusing on blood pressure control (systolic <140, diastolic <90) for members ages 18-85 with hypertension, and statin therapy compliance for cardiovascular disease patients. This is informational guidance to help providers identify care gaps and improve documentation.
Action Required
Providers should ensure blood pressure screenings and results are documented in electronic medical records at every visit for adults 18 and older. Consider building care gap alerts in EMR systems as reminders for hypertension and cardiovascular disease follow-up. Offer telehealth services when appropriate for preventive care appointments.
