Treatment and study plan

Primary outcomes

  1. The percentage of emergency department attendings that accurately predict which patients meet criteria for hypertension in two week follow-up using home blood pressure monitoring.

    Time frame: 18 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. The predictive value of the emergency department measured blood pressure by the standard ED blood pressure device, BpTRU device, and home blood pressure device for hypertension in follow-up

    Time frame: 18 months
