Health insurer Providence Health Plan and the American Heart Association announced last week that they have teamed up to launch a cardiovascular health initiative supporting underserved communities in Oregon and Washington.

健康保险公司普罗维登斯健康计划（Providence Health Plan）和美国心脏协会（American Heart Association）上周宣布，他们已联手发起一项心血管健康倡议，支持俄勒冈州和华盛顿服务不足的社区。

Through the initiative — which is called Embracing Community Care — the two organizations will create self-measured blood pressure programs in 20 community organizations and clinics over three years. It is starting with the Portland Opportunities and Industrialization Center (POIC), which provides education, employment and training, community safety and family and wellness services to more than 3,000 people..

通过这项被称为拥抱社区护理的倡议，这两个组织将在三年内在20个社区组织和诊所创建自我测量血压的项目。它从波特兰机会和工业化中心（POIC）开始，该中心为3000多人提供教育、就业和培训、社区安全以及家庭和健康服务。。

The program at POIC will give its students and staff blood pressure measurement kits that have a blood pressure device and cuff. They also have an instruction booklet that provides information on how to take blood pressure readings, what the readings mean and how they can improve their blood pressure numbers.

POIC的项目将为学生和员工提供带有血压装置和袖带的血压测量套件。他们还有一本说明书，提供有关如何读取血压读数，读数的含义以及如何改善血压数字的信息。

POIC students and staff can rent these kits like books at a library..

POIC的学生和工作人员可以像在图书馆一样租用这些工具包。。

What’s Keeping Healthcare CIOs Up at Night: How to Improve Patient Satisfaction by Handling Calls More Efficiently

是什么让医疗保健首席信息官夜不能寐：如何通过更有效地处理电话来提高患者满意度

Health systems have spent billions on portals while investments in modernizing the voice channel — the dominant preference of healthcare consumers — have taken a backseat.

卫生系统在门户网站上花费了数十亿美元，而对语音频道现代化的投资（这是医疗保健消费者的主要偏好）却处于次要地位。

“I don’t think there’s a lot of awareness all the time about high blood pressure and how important this is to our health, and this is going to be a real, tangible way that we’re going to be able to really move the needle in our communities around that education and understanding,” said Don Antonucci, president and CEO of Providence Health Plan, in an interview..

普罗维登斯健康计划（Providence health Plan）总裁兼首席执行官唐·安东努奇（DonAntonucci）在接受采访时表示：“我认为人们一直没有意识到高血压以及它对我们的健康有多么重要，这将是一种实实在在的方式，我们将能够真正在社区中围绕这种教育和理解来推动针头的运动。”。。

Antonucci added that the other programs will have similar components to the POIC program, like the blood pressure cuff monitors and the education materials, though the execution of the programs may vary. He mentioned that Providence Health Plan has a dedicated team collaborating with the American Heart Association to pinpoint additional organizations for the initiative.

安东努奇补充说，其他项目将有类似于POIC项目的组成部分，如血压袖带监测仪和教育材料，尽管项目的执行可能会有所不同。他提到，普罗维登斯健康计划有一个专门的团队与美国心脏协会合作，为该倡议确定其他组织。

They are particularly focused on identifying groups serving populations with limited access to blood pressure education and services..

他们特别关注确定为血压教育和服务机会有限的人群服务的群体。。

About half of adults in the U.S. have high blood pressure and often don’t know they have it, according to the American Heart Association. Certain groups are also more likely to have high blood pressure: 50% of men have high blood pressure, versus 44% of women, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

美国心脏协会（American Heart Association）的数据显示，美国大约一半的成年人患有高血压，而且通常不知道自己患有高血压。某些人群也更容易患高血压：根据疾病控制和预防中心的数据，50%的男性患有高血压，而44%的女性患有高血压。

And 56% of Black adults have high blood pressure compared to 48% of White adults, 46% of Asian adults and 39% of Hispanic adults..

56%的黑人成年人患有高血压，而白人成年人为48%，亚洲成年人为46%，西班牙裔成年人为39%。。

In launching the initiative with the American Heart Association, Providence Health Plan ultimately aims to move the needle on these stats.

普罗维登斯健康计划（Providence Health Plan）与美国心脏协会（American Heart Association）共同发起了这项计划，最终目的是根据这些数据移动针头。
