Abstract
[Introduction]. This document describes the Monitoring and Evaluation Framework for Hypertension Control Programs, a collaboration between the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) and the World Hypertension League (WHL). It provides a foundation that allows countries, based on their own resources and priorities, to select indicators for their monitoring and evaluation efforts and strongly recommends the use of the five core indicators of the Global HEARTS cardiovascular disease management technical package and one additional PAHO-WHL core indicator. The framework is designed to be used at different intervention levels: national, regional, and even at the community or clinic/facility-level. The intention is for hypertension programs to select quantitative indicators based on the current surveillance mechanisms that are available and what is feasible and to use the framework process indicators as a guide to program management. Programs may wish to increase or refine the number of indicators they use over time.
