I'm a family physician in a busy primary care practice, and despite following guidelines, I'm finding it increasingly difficult to manage hypertension effectively for many of my patients, especially those with complex social determinants of health like food insecurity or inconsistent medication access. The standard fifteen-minute appointment slot is often insufficient to address lifestyle counseling, medication titration, and the underlying barriers to adherence, leading to frustratingly uncontrolled numbers at follow-up visits. For other primary care providers, what practical changes have you implemented in your workflow to improve hypertension management? Have you had success with team-based care involving pharmacists or health coaches, or with specific patient education tools and remote monitoring technologies that engage patients more actively in their own care between visits?
