The PROVE aims to test the efficacy of panel management support and educational intervention in VA Primary Care Clinical Microsystems. The study will test three increasingly intensive methods for implementing panel management strategies among health care providers in VA primary care clinics: providing only panel data, providing panel management support, and providing support plus clinical microsystem-enhancing education and training.It is hypothesized that the group receiving panel management and educational interventions will have better smoking cessation and hypertension outcomes than the group receiving only panel management assistance. It is further supposed that the later will have better smoking cessation and hypertension patient outcomes than the data-only group.
