Nearly one-third of all American adults have high blood pressure, and more than half of them don’t have it under control.
Simply seeing a doctor and taking medications isn’t enough for many people who have high blood pressure.
Patients can improve control by measuring and recording their own blood pressure between office visits and by taking medications as prescribed.
Health care systems can use electronic health records and patient registries to find and follow up with patients, and automatically notify doctors about patients who have high blood pressure readings.
Health care providers can see patients with high blood pressure more often until control is achieved. B96 Cares!
