Home Blood Pressure Monitoring Now Part of Annual CBP Performance Measure
Starting in 2021, the NCQA revised the HEDIS measure on Controlling High Blood
Pressure to include remote blood pressure monitoring readings
•
➤ This underlines the importance of encouraging the use of home blood pressure
monitors and documenting those readings during telehealth visits and other patient
transmissions or encounters
Remote Blood pressure readings done at home can be captured during a follow-up in-
person office visit, telehealth visit, telephone visits, e-visit, or virtual visit.
➤ Patient-reported readings taken with a digital device are acceptable and should be
documented in the medical record along with the date.
➤ Providers don't need to see the reading on the digital device; the patient can verbally
report it
This information, and more, can be found on the Hypertension
