| Abstract |
Purpose: Blood pressure self-monitoring (SMBP) can improve hypertension (HTN) and adherence to HTN treatments. Comagine Health, a nonprofit healthcare consulting firm, works with Utah clinics and providers to improve the delivery of healthcare services to patients. Comagine needed to update HTN resources on their website specific to SMBP and clinic workflows for HTN management. This DNP project aimed to develop a web-based guide to educate patients and support clinics as they provide HTN management with an emphasis on SMBP. Methodology: A pre-survey conducted by Comagine Health indicated a need for additional HTN resources to improve workflows and resources related to SMBP. The author developed an up-to-date, evidence-based website resource for HTN and SMPB management. The web-based guide was presented to clinics and partners of Comagine, who provided quantitative and qualitative data through a Likert scale and free-text box options to evaluate guide effectiveness. An additional survey completed by Comagine Health determined if the guide was accepted or rejected. Results: The results indicated that Comagine Health accepted the guide. The feedback from providers, clinics, and the Patient Family Advisory Council (PFAC) demonstrated that the project effectively delivered evidence-based SMBP and HTN management resources. Implications for practice: The results indicated that an SMBP guide can benefit and improve HTN management workflow and provide clinics with the evidence-based and up-to-date resources they need to implement an SMBP program in their clinic. |
