Health care found to be better with online help – Nice localization of the landmark Group Health study on managing hypertension using Web services, from the Seattle PI.
So…if the study and the community agree that this kind of care is better, and there is data to show that diagnosing “white coat” hypertension is cost-effective, and payers already have reimbursement policies for ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (and older type of technology to figure this out), why not create more modern policies for home blood pressure monitoring?
