DEFINING SELF-MEASURED BLOOD PRESSURE

Self-measured blood pressure (SMBP) refers to blood pressure (BP) measurements
obtained by a patient outside of a physician's practice or clinical setting,
usually at home. When combined with clinical support (e.g., one-on-one
counseling, web-based or telephonic support tools, education), SMBP can help
enhance the quality and accessibility of care for people with high blood
pressure and improve blood pressure control.1


SMBP QUICK GUIDE

AMA's self-measured blood pressure quick guide offers an easy reference for
physicians and care teams to help train patients to perform SMBP monitoring.

Get the Guide (PDF)

SMBP can be used to assess BP control and aid in diagnosing of hypertension.
SMBP allows patients to actively participate in the management of their BP and
has been shown to improve adherence to antihypertensive medications.1 It is
recommended to be used in conjunction with telehealth counseling or clinical
interventions for the titration of BP-lowering medication.2

The recent COVID-19 pandemic has led to a rapid increase in the use of
telemedicine by many health care organizations. physicians and care teams. Using
telemedicine modalities with self-measured blood pressure (SMBP) can help
patients with hypertension achieve and maintain blood pressure goals.2


DOWNLOAD THE 7-STEP SMBP QUICK GUIDE

The guide (PDF) highlights seven key steps physicians and care teams can take to
use SMBP with patients 18 years and older with high blood pressure, and includes
links to useful supporting resources.
