The use of telehealth strategies is a new recommendation in the 2017 ACC/AHA Guideline for the Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Management of High Blood Pressure in Adults, supporting previous clinical research that demonstrates the efficacy of digital health strategies—when combined with high-quality clinical care—in improving blood pressure control rates. This interactive workshop will highlight the AMA’s digital health roadmap, which features guidance and tools for healthcare providers seeking real-world methods for implementing digital health solutions in order to improve quality of care. Attendees will learn about the AMA/AHA Target: BP performance improvement program for improving blood pressure control, and specific ways to supplement the program with pragmatic digital tools: engineered to support patient self-management.
