Brief summary (registry, in English)
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of home blood pressure telemonitoring (HBPT) and case management (CM), relative to usual care, for improving blood pressure (BP) control among patients with high blood pressure discharged from the emergency department (ED). The main question it aims to answer is: Does telemonitoring with case management improve BP control, relative to usual care, for people with high blood pressure discharged from the ED? Secondary research questions will address: 1. How do these interventions (telemonitoring and case management) improve medication adherence? 2. Do these interventions reduce physician and ED visits? 3. Are these interventions safe? 4. How do these interventions influence patient experience? Participants in the intervention group will receive training and use of a home BP telemonitor with tele-transmission function for 12-months plus pharmacist case management to provide behavioral counseling, facilitate medication adherence, review telemonitored BP data, and adjust medications. The control group will receive usual care from their primary care physician and will receive the same home BP monitor and hypertension education.
