Summary

The study team is proposing a single arm intervention to test the effect of an electronic intervention on medication use among individuals with a prescription for hypertension/high blood pressure. The investigator proposes that technology like text messaging, email, web applications and mobile apps with proven, nurse intervention scripts, will lead to significant, cost-effective improvements in hypertension medication use.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Electronic Intervention

Patients will be able to receive the intervention notifications over the electronic/multimedia mode they prefer; selecting either text messaging/mobile web and/or email/online web. Text message or email alerts with an included uniform resource locator (URL) link to the specified mobile or online web site will be utilized to notify patients of a pending encounter available on mobile. Topics that will be addressed in the intervention include medication and side effects, social support, hypertension knowledge, memory and smoking. All intervention encounters that are designed to collect responses from the patient will require the patient to supply credentials before responding to the encounter; thus, ensuring privacy of the patient session, as well as patient-specific tracking of responses.
