Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Rate of blood pressure control into guideline recommended ranges3 months

The American Heart Association/American Stroke Association (AHA/ASA) have cited the JNC-7 in their guidelines to define normal blood pressure as \< 120/80. We will use these guidelines and examine rates (percentage of subjects) of blood pressure control in intervention vs. usual care group.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Medication Compliance3 months

Percent of subjects who have discontinued one or more of the blood pressure medications on their own (i.e. without medical direction) in the intervention vs. usual care group.

Use of online tool3 months

Ease of online health management tool use will be operationalized as the percent of subjects in the intervention group who measure their BP and enter it online at least 75% of the study period, 50% of the study period and those with 25% or less of the study period.
