Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Rate of blood pressure control into guideline recommended ranges | 3 months | The American Heart Association/American Stroke Association (AHA/ASA) have cited the JNC-7 in their guidelines to define normal blood pressure as \< 120/80. We will use these guidelines and examine rates (percentage of subjects) of blood pressure control in intervention vs. usual care group. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Medication Compliance | 3 months | Percent of subjects who have discontinued one or more of the blood pressure medications on their own (i.e. without medical direction) in the intervention vs. usual care group. |
| Use of online tool | 3 months | Ease of online health management tool use will be operationalized as the percent of subjects in the intervention group who measure their BP and enter it online at least 75% of the study period, 50% of the study period and those with 25% or less of the study period. |
