Key result
High-intensity nurse-managed home telehealth significantly decreased systolic blood pressure at 6 and 12 months, and temporarily decreased A1c at 6 months, compared to usual care.

Supports integration of nurse-managed telehealth into veteran care for SBP control; extends RCT evidence for remote monitoring in comorbid diabetes and hypertension.
Wakefield et al. (2011) conducted an RCT in Comorbid type 2 diabetes and hypertension. Nurse-managed home telehealth vs. Usual care was evaluated on Hemoglobin A1c and systolic blood pressure (SBP). High-intensity nurse-managed home telehealth significantly decreased systolic blood pressure at 6 and 12 months, and temporarily decreased A1c at 6 months, compared to usual care.
