Abstract
Team-based care is an effective strategy to improve BP in primary care.1, 2 The most recent meta-analysis evaluated 39 randomized controlled trials in 14,224 patients and found pharmacist interventions reduced systolic BP 7.6 mm Hg (95% CI:−9.0 to −6.3 mm Hg) compared to usual care.3 The authors concluded that pharmacist interventions were highly effective but that additional studies are still needed to determine the most efficient methods of implementation.3 Nearly all previous studies were efficacy studies conducted under optimal conditions. The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute has committed extensive funding to evaluate if interventions known to be effective in efficacy studies conducted under optimal conditions will be implemented in usual care scenarios.
