Abstract
Studies have demonstrated that home blood pressure monitoring (HBPM) can produce a small but clinically significant reduction in blood pressure. In this report we describe a quality improvement initiative conducted to determine whether adding HBPM to existing interventions would result in both an increased incidence of patients monitoring their blood pressure at home as well as improved blood pressure control. The outcome was an increase in patients reporting HBPM from 35% to 47.1%. A decrease in blood pressure was not observed. The program resulted in an enhanced HBPM rate, but improved data are necessary to detect an overall decrease in blood pressure.
