Blood Pressure Tools

Taking your blood pressure and keeping track of the readings is vital to your health if you have hypertension or Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). However, this task can get daunting or become overwhelming for some. For current patients, we have a few tools that may help alleviate the stress around tracking your blood pressure. 

Blood Pressure Logs: We provide blood pressure log sheets that assist with keeping your blood pressure information neat and organized. Additionally, there is a reference sheet with instructions and tips for taking the most accurate readings. Be sure to bring this sheet back in at your appointments so we can see your trends!

Trackers: Our patient portal has a feature that allows patients to link a blood pressure monitor to their account to track readings so it is more readily available to your care team. This information is not regularly monitored, so be sure to call in when you notice a change or have concerns that need to be addressed by your care team. By using the trackers feature in the patient portal, you can show your other healthcare providers your history of readings by simply logging into your portal on your phone or other smart device. 

Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM): Our remote patient monitoring program allows you and your healthcare provider to manage your health from the comfort of your own home via bluetooth or 4G enabled health tracking devices. You will be assigned a Care Coordinator that will reach out on a monthly basis and will work with you to maintain consistent communication regarding your vital readings. You will receive additional communication for readings that are out of the designated range to ensure you are doing well. This program comes with an app that stores all of your readings for you with a wide range of other features that can help your overall health. 

Putting these tools to use is only as helpful and effective as the habits associated with them. Staying on top of taking your blood pressure on a regular basis is the most important part of tracking it. You can find more information on habits and blood pressure on our blog as well. As always, stay safe and healthy!
