Use of unattended automated office blood pressure in Utah primary care clinics

Conclusion After 5 years of UMHC promotional efforts, at least 20% of the 285 Utah primary care clinics invited to take the questionnaire and 75% of the 79 clinics completing the survey have incorporated u-AOBP and found it feasible in a primary care setting. Ongoing promotion of u-AOBP implementation at the local and regional level is required to extend its utilization. Effective, accessible educational materials and local technical assistance from public health and community partners are needed to correct knowledge and performance deficits to optimize u-AOBP utilization in primary care.
