Remote Monitoring for Equity in Advancing Control of Hypertension (REACH)
The goal of this study is to support patients with hypertension self-management using both home blood pressure monitors and digital messaging programs. The investigators will first engage patients with technology training to use home monitors, online portal websites to view their medical record information online, and texting and mobile phone applications. Then investigators will assess the effectiveness of home blood pressure monitors and enhanced patient-clinician digital communication on blood pressure control during a 12-month intervention.

Conditions
- Hypertension
Interventions
- Cellular Home blood pressure (BP) monitoring
Primary outcomes
- Systolic blood pressure (SBP) — 6 months
We will use clinic-based assessment of SBP as the primary outcome of interest, using all SBP measurements during any outpatient encounter in the 6 months prior to enrollment in the study and the 6 months during the active intervention period. Blood pressure (BP) is collected routinely during all patient encounters in our system, using a standardized BP measurement protocol that requires the use of automated BP machines at primary clinics broadly implemented as part of ongoing, previously described, qualify improvement efforts.
