Patient engagement pilot for uncontrolled hypertension: implications for quality, safety, and population health

The use of PGHD via text messaging significantly enhanced patient engagement and the management of hypertension, contributing to better quality outcomes and patient safety. This approach proved particularly effective in reaching and impacting patients in underserved communities, where traditional healthcare interactions are often limited. The findings support broader adoption of PGHD interventions in chronic disease management and underscore the potential for digital health tools to transform patient care by actively involving patients in their health management.
