Implementing Cross-Sector Care Models to Support Self-Measured Blood Pressure Monitoring in Your Health Center

Date
August 27, 2018

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? How can community organizations help? Based on learning from a three-state CDC pilot with health centers, local YMCAs, and local public health agencies, this session will address these questions and provide concrete action steps and implementation pearls to optimize your approach and implement SMBP successfully.
