Monitoring Blood Pressure at Home and Pharmacy Telehealth

The overall goal of this project is to determine if measuring blood pressure at home and staying in contact with a team of pharmacists and physicians to manage participants' blood pressure is useful. The study will enroll 400 participants who are seen at the University of Alabama at Birmingham Emergency Department - Transitional Care Clinic and Tampa General Hospital -Transitional Care Clinic. Half of the participants (200 patients) will be asked to measure blood pressure at home, and half of the participants (200 patients) will continue to receive usual care. Participants who measure blood pressure at home will also meet with a pharmacist weekly over the phone to discuss blood pressure readings and have blood pressure medications prescribed if needed. This program will last 6 months.
