Brief 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.

Limitations and Caveats

This study was a small single-center pilot randomized study designed to evaluate feasibility of recruitment and retention for a remote blood pressure monitoring and pharmacist-led telehealth program. The study was not powered to evaluate clinical effectiveness of the intervention. In addition, follow-up was limited to three months and not all participants completed the final study visit.
