JAMA Network Open: Navigating Remote Blood Pressure Monitoring—The Devil Is in the Details
In this invited commentary, authors respond to Mehta et al, which compared the effectiveness of remote patient monitoring of blood pressure and medication adherence reminders. The authors applauded the study’s strengths, but emphasized the importance of adding implementation context. The authors note that the study was conducted prior to the rapid expansion of RPM technologies, partly driven by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Additionally, the authors note that team-based care models that delegate RPM implementation to nonphysician practitioners, such as nurses or clinical pharmacists, is essential to effective clinical integration of RPM. However, the study did not provide additional data to explain the RPM workflows in place.
