The goal of this study is to identify what cuff delivery and BP log return modality most effectively achieve successful delivery of a self-measured blood pressure (SMBP) intervention in routine care, among adult primary care patients with uncontrolled hypertension?
The study team developed a clinical integration package as a multicomponent primary care-based approach to increase SMBP adoption through structured workflows, patient training, blood pressure logs, reminders/support, and clinical follow-up. Pilot work demonstrated that SMBP uptake can be significantly improved in underserved primary care settings. However, the pilot relied on research funds to purchase cuffs, which is not sustainable for health-system scale. A scalable model must identify practical pathways for patients to obtain standard validated blood pressure cuffs through routine care me…
