The Chris Wolfe Podcast: Do we really need to check blood pressure on every adult patient?

In this episode, Chris responds to a listener’s thoughtful question: “Do we really need to check blood pressure on every adult patient?” What starts as a question about workflow becomes a much bigger conversation about how optometrists spend their time, what really changes patient outcomes, and how to break the habit of checking boxes just for compliance. We unpack: The clinical and administrative context behind routine BP checks Why MIPS might not apply to your practice—and what that means The opportunity cost of low-yield testing How to rethink what “comprehensive” really means in your exam The case for reclaiming time to do more of what matters Bottom line: If it doesn’t change how you care for the patient, maybe it doesn’t belong in the exam. 📌 Want to explore ways to optimize your workflow and focus on high-value care?
