The Center For Improving Value in Health Care (CIVHC) analyzed hypertension in adults across the nation, with a special focus on those in Colorado. Analyzing data collected by the Colorado all-payer claims database (APCD), they found a correlation between Coloradans with high blood pressure who do not consistently take their medication and the increased out-of-pocket cost of generic forms of these medication. The report stresses the importance that public health agencies play in providing outreach and targeted interventions surrounding hypertension management.
