Post-Emergency Department Discharge Clinic Telehealth Program for Patients With Uncontrolled Hypertension: a Pilot Study
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Remote Blood Pressure Monitoring + Telehealth and Usual care for Hypertension. Active but no longer recruiting, targeting 24 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The overall goal of this project is to determine if measuring blood pressure at home and staying in contact with a team of pharmacists and physicians to manage your blood pressure is feasible. The study will enroll 24 participants at UAB who are seen at the Emergency Department Post-Discharge Clinic. Half of the participants (12 patients) will be asked to measure their blood pressure at home, and half of the participants (12 patients) will continue to receive usual care. Participants who measure their blood pressure at home will also meet with a pharmacist weekly over the phone to discuss blood pressure readings and have blood pressure medications prescribed if needed. This program will last 3 months.
