*Ratings are on a 1–6 scale where 1 = very good care and 6=very poor care. Each patient record may have been reviewed for more than one condition. Thus 56 out of the 70 total records were reviewed for the quality of hypertension care. A total of 153 reviews of the 56 different patient records were done by 12 different reviewers.
