(b) Evaluate the accuracy of the
agencies estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the

Background and Brief Description
Cardiovascular disease is a leading
cause of death for men and women in
the United States, among the most
costly health problems facing our nation
today, and among the most preventable.
Heart disease and stroke also contribute
significantly to disability. High blood
pressure, also known as hypertension, is
one of the leading causes of heart
disease and stroke. Currently, about 78
million American adults have high
blood pressure but only about half
(48%) have adequately controlled blood
pressure. The costs of hypertension are
estimated at $48.9 billion annually in
direct medical costs.
In September 2011, CDC launched the
Million Hearts initiative to prevent one
million heart attacks and strokes by
2017. In February 2022, CDC launched
Million Hearts 2027 to continue to
prevent one million heart attacks,
strokes, and related health conditions.
In order to achieve this goal, at least 10
million more Americans must have their
blood pressure under control. Million
Hearts is working to reach this goal
through the promotion of clinical
practices that are effective in increasing
blood pressure control among patient
populations. There is scientific evidence
that provides general guidance on the
types of system-based changes to
clinical practice that can improve
patient blood pressure control, but
additional information is needed to
fully understand implementation
practices so that they can be shared and
promoted.
In 2013, CDC launched the Million
Hearts Hypertension Control Challenge,
authorized by Public Law 111–358, the
America Creating Opportunities to

Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 199 / Monday, October 17, 2022 / Notices
Meaningfully Promote Excellence in
Technology, Education and Science
Reauthorization Act of 2010
(COMPETES Act). The Challenge is
designed to help CDC: (1) identify
clinical practices and health systems
that have been successful in achieving
high rates of hypertension control; and
(2) develop models for dissemination.
The Challenge is open to single practice
providers, group practice providers, and
healthcare systems. Providers whose
hypertensive population achieves
exemplary levels of hypertension
control are recognized as Million Hearts
Hypertension Control Champions.
Interested clinicians or practices
complete a web-based application form
which collects the minimum amount of
data needed to demonstrate
hypertension control among their adult
patients, including: (a) Two point-intime measures of the clinical
hypertension control rate for the patient
population; (b) the size of the clinic
population served; (c) a brief
description of the characteristics of the
patient population served and
geographic location; and (d) a
description of the sustainable systems
and strategies adopted to achieve and
maintain hypertension control rates.
CDC scientists or contractors review
each application form and rank
applications by reported hypertension
control rate.
In the second phase of assessment,
applicants with the highest preliminary
scores are asked to participate in a two-
hour data verification and validation
process. The applicant reviews the
application form with a reviewer,
describes how information was obtained
from the providers’ (or practices’)
electronic records, chart reviews, or
other sources, and reviews the
methodology used to calculate the
reported hypertension control rate. Data
verification and validation is conducted
to ensure that all applicants meet
eligibility criteria and assure accuracy of
their reported hypertension control rate
according to a standardized method.
Applicants must have achieved a
hypertension control rate of at least 80%
among their adult patients aged 18–85
years with hypertension.
Up to 35 finalists who pass the data
verification and background check are
selected as Champions. Several
Champions participate in a one-hour,
semi-structured interview and provide
detailed information about the patient
population served, the geographic
region served, and the strategies
employed by the practice or health
system to achieve exemplary rates of
hypertension control, including barriers
and facilitators for those strategies.
Based on the information collected for
Challenges in 2013 through 2020, CDC
recognized a total of 133 public and
private health care practices and
systems as Million Hearts Hypertension
Control Champions. The Champions are
announced roughly annually,
approximately six months after the
Challenge application period ends.
CDC plans to conduct the Million
Hearts Hypertension Control Challenge
annually through 2027. The 2023
Challenge is planned to launch in
February 2023, coinciding with
American Heart Month. The application
period will be open for approximately
45–60 days, with recognition of the
2023 Champions in the fall of 2023. A
similar calendar year schedule is
planned for 2024 and 2025.
CDC will use the information
collected through the Million Hearts
Hypertension Control Challenge to
increase widespread attention to
hypertension at the clinical practice
level, improve understanding of
successful and sustainable
implementation strategies at the practice
or health system level, bring visibility to
organizations that invest in
hypertension control, and motivate
individual practices to strengthen their
hypertension control efforts.
Information collected through the
Million Hearts Hypertension Control
Challenge will link success in clinical
outcomes of hypertension control with
information about strategies that can be
used to achieve similar favorable
outcomes so that the strategies can be
replicated by other providers and health
care systems.
CDC requests OMB approval for an
estimated 215 annual burden hours.
Participation is voluntary, and there are
no costs to the respondents other than
their time to participate.
