* Patient level covariates included age, gender, whether the person had a heart condition and/or hypertension. Practice level covariates included whether the practice uses an EMR and whether the practice is a solo or group practice.
† For a 1-point increase in the score for “identification of patients” (on a scale of 1 to 5), the odds of appropriate assessment decrease by 21%.
