My Interprofessional Care Team for Adherence and Research Engagement Disparities
MI-CARE is an innovative coordinated care team intervention to improve medication adherence and blood pressure derived from research findings that build on existing clinical practice. Designed with an eye toward sustainability, MI-CARE incorporates billable pharmacist and CHW services for patients with low medication adherence and high burdens of chronic illness and preventable consequences. MI-CARE offers interprofessional team care with comprehensive expertise and complementary skill sets that mitigate the silo effect of specialized medicine to deliver primary care to diverse, high-risk populations experiencing disparities in hypertension.
