Most patients have their blood pressure taken during every doctor visit. Yet, this simple physiologic vital sign measurement is often performed incorrectly. Too often, the results are artificially elevated, which can lead to less-than-optimal clinical management for high-risk groups. In addition, there are significant financial consequences to poorly performed blood pressure management. This webinar will explore the cascading impact from inaccurate point-of-care blood pressure attainment and provide insight into simple corrective measures to achieve better clinical outcomes. Since healthcare reimbursements are moving more to a value-based model, the speakers will also explore the economic impact of accurate point-of-care BP measurement. 

This 60-minute webinar will provide you with the knowledge to: 

• Identify the most common sources of error within blood pressure attainment and the degree to which they impact the accuracy of values
• Discuss how improper blood pressure technique can lead to improper clinical management and drive poor performance on value-based care payment incentives
• Describe best clinical practices for point-of-care blood pressure measurement and how implementation will improve outcomes and financial performance
