Interventions

  • Self-management of BP medications — BEHAVIORAL
    Patients will be educated on how to manage their home BP based on a pre-determined protocol. They will then monitor home BP and adjust meds accordingly and under the guidance of the clinical pharmacist.
  • Self-monitoring of home BP — BEHAVIORAL
    Patients will be educated on how to monitor home BP and will be educated to contact their primary care provider/CKD provider if the BP is above the goal.

Study Details

The proposed research will evaluate if patients managing their blood pressure medications under the guidance of a clinical pharmacist works better to lower blood pressure than patients monitoring their blood pressure at home and the standard care. 60 Veterans with chronic kidney disease (CKD) will be included in the study. The study will further evaluate factors that may influence the Veteran to accept the self-management approach and what factors in the VHA healthcare system affect the implementation of the self-management approach.
