Hypertension Management Using Remote Patient Monitoring: Study 2

NCT04764318 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 17290

Last updated 2023-02-10

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The investigators will conduct a pragmatic pilot test of a remote patient monitoring system (RPM) for blood pressure measurement for Medicare patients with hypertension with and without the support of a care management program. The primary objective is to better understand how patients' remote monitoring of blood pressure and the direct transmission of this data to a healthcare system's EHR can be used by the patient and the care team to support optimal hypertension care and whether the addition of active care management increases the use of RPM and improvements in blood pressure.

This pilot study will be conducted in four Northwestern Medical Group (NMG) primary care practices. Two practices will have RPM available for primary care physicians to order for their eligible Medicare patients and two practices will also receive the support of a care management program to assist with patient enrollment, blood pressure monitoring and taking action in the setting of uncontrolled blood pressure.

The investigators will conduct a pragmatic non-blinded, non-randomized pilot study with contemporaneous controls among NMG outpatient clinics that provide adult primary care. They will make comparisons of data obtained through the course of routine care delivery from pilot and non-pilot practices.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Remote patient monitoring for hypertension

The intervention involves making available remote physiologic monitoring services for hypertension patients allowable under Medicare for blood pressure (and weight if desired) when ordered by a patient's clinician.

BEHAVIORAL

Remote patient monitoring with care management

The intervention involves making available remote physiologic monitoring services for hypertension patients allowable under Medicare for blood pressure (and weight if desired) when ordered by a patient's clinician and providing care management services to support the enrollment and active use of this service.
