“…This study assessed the knowledge on BP measurement in relation to the anatomy‐physiological basis, the correct procedure to measure the pressure, the kind of equipment, and the errors caused by the instrument, observer and the client's own influences. The lack of knowledge has been demonstrated despite important contributions from nurses in the field of hypertension, as identified by Curzio and Beevers (1997). In this study it was demonstrated that the inadequacy of the standard cuff dimension is a crucial problem in very lean or very obese arms.…”

“…The effectiveness of a collaborative approach through case management has been well documented during the last 2 decades both in the United States and globally 29,30,[33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46] (Table 1). Case management has been shown to be an effective approach to the management of dyslipidemia and multiple risk factors in a number of populations.…”

Abstract-Current data and guidelines recommend treating abnormal blood lipids (ABL) to goal. This is a complex process and requires involvement from various healthcare professionals with a wide range of expertise. The model of a multidisciplinary case management approach for patients with ABL is well documented and described. This collaborative approach encompasses primary and secondary prevention across the lifespan, incorporates nutritional and exercise management as a significant component, defines the importance and indications for pharmacological therapy, and emphasizes the importance of adherence. Use of this collaborative approach for the treatment of ABL ultimately will improve cardiovascular and cerebrovascular morbidity and mortality. (Circulation. 2005;112:3184-3209.)

“…Restructuring the health care delivery system to include and reimburse these models of care is likely to improve adherence and BP control. 6,10,12,33,34 Until recently, few studies examined the impact of practice and office arrangements and organization of how office practices are managed on achievement of BP control. In 1996, Ockene and colleagues 39 demonstrated that fostering effective communication with the patient, and documenting and responding to patient progress toward goals, improved patients' medication adherence.…”

Nonadherence and poor or no persistence in taking antihypertensive medications results in uncontrolled high blood pressure, poor clinical outcomes, and preventable health care costs. Factors associated with nonadherence are multilevel and relate not only to the patient, but also to the provider, health care system, health care organization, and community. National guideline committees have called for more aggressive approaches to implement strategies known to improve adherence and technologies known to enable changes at the systems level, including improved communication among providers and patients. Improvements in adherence and persistence are likely to be achieved by supporting patient self‐management, a team approach to patient care, technology‐supported office practice systems, better methods to measure adherence, and less clinical inertia. Integrating high blood pressure control into health care policies that emphasize and improve prevention and management of chronic illness remains a challenge. Four strategies are proposed: focusing on clinical outcomes; empowering informed, activated patients; developing prepared proactive practice teams; and advocating for health care policy reform. With hypertension remaining the most common reason for office visits, the time is now.
