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.
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.
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.
