What are the considerations for implementation of standardized office BP measurements?
Standardized of ce BP does not necessarily require additional equipment beyond the existing BP measurement devices. However, standardized of ce BP takes longer to perform than routine of ce BP, given the need to follow proper preparatory procedures. Therefore, there may be an increased time burden on patients, providers, and staff. This approach also requires staff training and retraining to ensure that a standardized BP measurement approach is followed. Adequate access to a quiet clinic space that allows for an adequate rest period prior to BP measurement may also be an issue in certain settings.
