I'm a primary care physician in a community health center, and I'm trying to improve our clinic's approach to hypertension management. We have a high percentage of patients with uncontrolled blood pressure despite being on medication, and I suspect a lot of it comes down to inconsistent follow-up and poor health literacy. I want to implement a more structured protocol, maybe involving pharmacist-led medication titration and group education sessions. What are the most effective, evidence-based strategies for hypertension management in primary care that actually improve adherence and control rates? I'm particularly interested in models that use telehealth for monitoring and how to successfully bill for these extended services.
