· Develop a professional product to improve care or the patient experience related to Hypertension management and prevention with a 3-4 page summary of intervention findings, evidence, and best-practice basis for the professional product.

o With what participants?

· Evidence-based rationale for professional product development:
o What professional product did you develop?

o How does it align with your intervention?
o How will the product help improve outcomes?
o How will the product enhance the patient experience?
o How does the product improve a process related to quality, safety, and/or cost of care?
o How do relevant research, evidence, and best practices support your choice of professional product and approach?
· Explain ways in which leadership of people and processes was utilized while designing an intervention and implementation plan.
· Demonstrate process improvements in the quality, safety, or cost of care as a result of a direct clinical intervention and a developed professional product.
