Fall's around the corner and we're curling up with a good read...September's Editor Pick from the Green Journal 🍂 Why is this study significant? While remote BP monitoring in postpartum has been consistently shown to improve adherence to ACOG guidelines and improve BP ascertainment, the connection to clinical outcomes has not been as well established. This research shows that remote BP monitoring has a real impact on health care utilization. Participation was associated with fewer postpartum hospital readmissions, higher attendance at postpartum visits, improved guideline adherence, and higher rates of antihypertensive use.
