Achieving Blood Pressure Control Through Enhanced Discharge
- Conditions
- Hypertension
- Registration Number
- NCT02069015
- Lead Sponsor
- Wayne State University
- Brief Summary
The primary aim of the study is to determine if enhanced discharge from the emergency department will improve blood pressure control and self-care management. Enhanced discharge will include a hypertension intervention delivered by a touch-screen kiosk over a three month period.
- Detailed Description
A targeted sample of patients with uncontrolled blood pressure at the time of their emergency department visit discharge will be randomized into either standard or enhanced discharge. To control for medication effects in achieving blood pressure control, both groups will receive similar blood pressure medication while actively participating in the study.
