Key result
Implementation of collaborative clinical-community care models resulted in 795 of 1,421 recommended patients with uncontrolled hypertension successfully completing at least one cycle of self-measured blood pressure monitoring.
Why the study?
Self-measured blood pressure monitoring with additional support improves hypertension outcomes cost-effectively but remains underutilized.
Population
1421 patients recommended for SMBP across nine health centers
Comparison
Cross-sector collaborative care models offering SMBP with community and public health support
Design
Implementation project evaluating collaborative care models

Cross-sector models may boost SMBP uptake in community settings; leaves open effects on hypertension control.
Observational (n=1,421)
Yes
Cross-sector partnerships between clinical providers and community organizations can effectively implement and support self-measured blood pressure monitoring programs for patients with hypertension.
Meador et al. (2020) conducted an observational in Uncontrolled primary/essential hypertension (n=1,421). Self-measured blood pressure monitoring (SMBP) collaborative care models was evaluated on Completion of at least one cycle of SMBP (BP measurements morning and evening for at least three consecutive days). Implementation of collaborative clinical-community care models resulted in 795 of 1,421 recommended patients with uncontrolled hypertension successfully completing at least one cycle of self-measured blood pressure monitoring.
