Therapeutic Issues in the Evaluation and Treatment of the Hypertensive Patient: White Coat Hypertension and Once Daily Dosing of Antihypertensive Agents
Pharmacists are an invaluable resource of drug and other treatment information for the primary provider because of their skills in drug literature evaluation and retrieval. The implementation of a home blood pressure monitoring program at the HMO of Delaware has allowed the establishment of excellent relations between medical, nursing, and pharmacy personnel and has allowed the pharmacist to become involved in the decision-making process for many hypertensive patients.
