A Pharmacist Intervention for Monitoring and Treating Hypertension Using Bidirectional Texting
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Experimental: Pharmacist-Bidirectional Texting Group and Active Comparator: Control Group for Hypertension. Completed, enrolled 535 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Bidirectional texting is an effective way to collect home blood pressure (BP) measurements from subjects, but collecting BP measurements and sending them to physicians does not necessarily lead to decreased BP. Pharmacist interventions have been successful in decreasing subject BP. However, pharmacists are expensive, and in successful interventions, spent a substantial amount of time collecting home BP measurements. In this study, a proven pharmacist intervention will be added to a bidirectional texting program to determine if a combined pharmacist-bidirectional texting intervention is successful at decreasing subject BP and increasing subject BP treatment intensification in a cost-effective manner. This study will be a cluster-randomized, controlled trial of a new intervention.

Interventions
The goal of this intervention is to determine if bidirectional texting and pharmacist monitoring will improve blood pressure control.
This group will receive bidirectional texting, but no pharmacist monitoring.
