Digital hypertension management: clinical and cost outcomes of a pilot implementation of the OMRON hypertension management platform.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Home monitoring of blood pressure (BP) in hypertensive patients can improve outcomes, but challenges to both patient compliance and the effective transmission of home BP readings to physicians can limit the extent to which physicians can use this information to improve care. The OMRON Hypertension Management Platform (OMRON HMP) pairs a home BP cuff with a digital product that tracks data, provides reminders to improve patient compliance, and provides a streamlined source of information to physicians.

Objective

The primary objective of the quality improvement (QI) project was to test the hypothesis that use of the OMRON HMP could reduce the number and cost of hypertension related claims, relative to a retrospectively matched cohort of insured members. A secondary
