New approaches to managing hypertension in primary care in Sweden

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This project evaluates innovative, sustainable models for managing hypertension in primary health care settings. It involves a pilot study at two Primary Health Care Centres where cardiovascular risk is assessed using SCORE2 for all hypertension patients. Staff will receive training on hypertension treatment protocols, and non-physicians will lead group education sessions for patients. Patients will use home blood pressure monitors and communicate digitally with nurses for medication updates and follow-ups, while physicians will only meet with high-risk patients as necessary.
