Measure
A) Standard BP Control, Clinician Monitoring
Target blood pressure will be less than 150/100. Participants will be instructed to check their blood pressures twice a day for two weeks and daily for weeks 3-6 after delivery and report abnormal blood pressures or symptoms to their obstetric clinicians. Additional postpartum visits beyond the blood pressure check will be directed by their obstetric clinician. Blood Pressure Control Targets: This intervention specifies the goal blood pressure as less than 150/100 versus less than 140/90 Hypertension Management: This intervention specifies whether the participant has hypertension management through their obstetric clinician or through a single nurse navigator who provides feedback and modifies hypertension treatment based on blood pressure values submitted by the participant.
B) Tight BP Control, Clinician Monitoring
Target blood pressure will be less than 140/90. Participants will be instructed to check their blood pressures twice a day for two weeks and daily for weeks 3-6 after delivery and report abnormal blood pressures or symptoms to their obstetric clinicians. Additional postpartum visits beyond the blood pressure check will be directed by their obstetric clinician. Blood Pressure Control Targets: This intervention specifies the goal blood pressure as less than 150/100 versus less than 140/90 Hypertension Management: This intervention specifies whether the participant has hypertension management through their obstetric clinician or through a single nurse navigator who provides feedback and modifies hypertension treatment based on blood pressure values submitted by the participant.
C) Standard BP Control, Care Navigation
Target blood pressure will be less than 150/100. Participants will check blood pressures twice daily for 14 days and daily for weeks 3-6. A nurse navigator will review their blood pressures M-F for Weeks 1-2 and weekly for weeks 3-6 and will provide feedback on blood pressure values and recommend initiating or escalating medications as needed. The nurse navigator will communicate progress to the participant's clinicians and will remind the participant of their appointments. The nurse navigator will facilitate a visit around 3 months with a primary care clinician or a cardiologist for hypertension follow up. Blood Pressure Control Targets: This intervention specifies the goal blood pressure as less than 150/100 versus less than 140/90 Hypertension Management: This intervention specifies whether the participant has hypertension management through their obstetric clinician or through a single nurse navigator who provides feedback and modifies hypertension treatment based on blood pressure values submitted by the participant.

Participants will be instructed to check their blood pressures twice a day for two weeks and daily for weeks 3-6 after delivery and report abnormal blood pressures or symptoms to their obstetric clinicians. Additional postpartum visits beyond the blood pressure check will be directed by their obstetric clinician. Blood Pressure Control Targets: This intervention specifies the goal blood pressure as less than 150/100 versus less than 140/90 Hypertension Management: This intervention specifies whether the participant has hypertension management through their obstetric clinician or through a single nurse navigator who provides feedback and modifies hypertension treatment based on blood pressure values submitted by the participant.
B) Tight BP Control, Clinician Monitoring
n=82 Participants
Target blood pressure will be less than 140/90. Participants will be instructed to check their blood pressures twice a day for two weeks and daily for weeks 3-6 after delivery and report abnormal blood pressures or symptoms to their obstetric clinicians. Additional postpartum visits beyond the blood pressure check will be directed by their obstetric clinician. Blood Pressure Control Targets: This intervention specifies the goal blood pressure as less than 150/100 versus less than 140/90 Hypertension Management: This intervention specifies whether the participant has hypertension management through their obstetric clinician or through a single nurse navigator who provides feedback and modifies hypertension treatment based on blood pressure values submitted by the participant.
C) Standard BP Control, Care Navigation
n=83 Participants
Target blood pressure will be less than 150/100. Participants will check blood pressures twice daily for 14 days and daily for weeks 3-6. A nurse navigator will review their blood pressures M-F for Weeks 1-2 and weekly for weeks 3-6 and will provide feedback on blood pressure values and recommend initiating or escalating medications as needed. The nurse navigator will communicate progress to the participant's clinicians and will remind the participant of their appointments. The nurse navigator will facilitate a visit around 3 months with a primary care clinician or a cardiologist for hypertension follow up.
