The Hypertension Control Change Package for Clinicians (HCCP) presents a listing of process improvements that health center settings can implement as they seek optimal hypertension (HTN) control.

Change concepts are general notions that are useful in the development of more specific ideas for changes that lead to improvement.

The National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC) created this document to provide health centers with a better understanding of data analytics, the current capabilities of these tools, and the critical vendor selection and contracting issues related to the consideration, selection, implementation, and use of a data product.
