Is Telehealth the Hidden (Hyper)Link to Controlling Blood Pressure?

Do pharmacists providing remote care using telehealth technologies to patients who self-monitor their blood pressure perform as well as physicians and care managers providing care face-to-face? Is BP control better (or worse)? What about patient satisfaction?  The Hyperlink 3 study provides more evidence the telehealth is safe and effective ... and patients prefer it.

Is a Team-Based Approach in Primary Care Worth It?

A team-based approach to patient care is well established in acute care settings, but not as widely adopted in primary care settings.  Working within a team could have a positive impact on the efficiency of visits, quality of care, workload, job satisfaction, and patient satisfaction. Previous studies in acute-care hospital settings reveal positive outcomes, but there have been mixed results in primary care settings. Are the extra time, effort, and money necessary to change to a collaborative team-based approach worth it? Will it positively impact health care utilization, quality, and cost?
