Did you know that the 2017 ACC/AHA Hypertension Management Guidelines explicitly recommend having patients measure their blood pressure outside of the clinical setting for diagnosis and management of hypertension? Out-of-office measurement, also called self-measured blood pressure monitoring (SMBP), provides a pattern of readings taken in a patient’s usual environment – it’s more accurate than a single office reading, can significantly improve BP outcomes, and has been shown to reduce costs.
Sounds great – you’re thinking, but where do you start? What questions do you need to ask to design a SMBP approach that’s right for your environment? What staff do you need?
