Clinician Decisions After Notification of Elevated Blood Pressure Measurements From Patients in a Remote Monitoring Program.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Guidelines recommend using telehealth for hypertension management, but insufficient evidence is available to guide strategies for incorporating telehealth data into clinical practice.

Objective

To describe how primary care teams responded to elevated remote blood pressure (BP) alerts in the electronic health record (EHR) in a randomized clinical trial of BP telemonitoring conducted in routine practice settings.

Design, setting, and participants

This retrospective cohort study reviewed EHR documentation from May 8, 2018, to August 9, 2019, in a single urban academic family practice site.
