Clinicians' Evolving Role in Hypertension Care

Host: Mark Nolan Hill, MD Guest: Beverly Green, MD, MPH The Internet plays such an integral role in so many of our lives, it's only natural to consider expanding its position in medicine. This process is underway, and moving rapidly in some areas, with the first large-scale, randomized clinical trial probing web-based hypertension interventions. How can we, as clinicians, adapt to new digital mechanisms for providing care? Does this particular hypertension concept mesh with the idea of a fee-for-service payment plan? Dr. Beverly Green, an affiliate investigator at the Group Health Center for Health Studies in Seattle, and the lead author of research published in JAMA on innovative web-based interventions for patients with uncontrolled hypertension, explains more about this collaborative approach to care with host Dr. Mark Nolan Hill.
