Blood Pressure Variability Between In‐Clinic and At‐Home Measurements: Implications for Care Quality Assessment
Reliance on single in-clinic BP measurements for hypertension management can be inaccurate due to significant variability over time. In addition to impacting treatment decisions, this may impact HEDIS metrics and Medicare Advantage Star ratings, which heavily influence healthcare revenue and quality perception. Findings indicate at-home BP monitoring can result in a meaningfully different BP control rate, emphasizing a role for at-home monitoring to enhance BP measurement reliability.
