What evidence did the committee consider when making the recommendations?
The committee considered evidence from relatively small studies comparing different combinations of home blood pressure monitoring (HBPM) (with or without telemonitoring and with or without pharmacist input), pharmacy monitoring and clinic monitoring. It suggested that people had improved blood pressure control with HBPM with telemonitoring, with or without pharmacy input, compared with clinic monitoring, and the greatest blood pressure reduction was achieved with pharmacist input.
