No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has uprooted conventional health care delivery for routine ambulatory care, requiring health systems to rapidly adopt telemedicine capabilities. The digital divide, has been well documented with lower rates of technology and broadband adoption among racial/ethnic minorities. Additionally, Black patients suffer a disproportionate burden of hypertension and cardiovascular disease. This study will implement a text-based home hypertension monitoring program among Black Medicaid patients with hypertension and cardiovascular disease (CVD) and compare its uptake to the currently available blood pressure monitoring program using the patient portal that is integrated into the electronic health record (EHR).
