Treatments
Experimental: Hypertension Team Based Group
A multidisciplinary team composed of a pharmacist, social worker, and nurse coupled to a self-monitoring blood pressure phone app will provide hypertension monitoring, medication titration, diet and lifestyle education, and referrals for social needs. The team will interact with the patients predominantly via tele-health remotely for 6 months.
Active_comparator: Hypertension Self-Guided Group
A research assistant ensures patients in the self-guided group have a home blood pressure monitor on enrollment and will call patients at 3 and 6 months to ensure the blood pressure monitor is functioning correctly and to remind patients to check their blood pressure and follow-up with their primary care doctors. Patients will continue with standard clinical care for hypertension in addition to receiving timed, mailed educational materials on hypertension, remote monitoring, diet and lifestyle recommendations for 6 months.
