First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study tests whether a hospital unit-based program can reduce unnecessary changes to blood pressure medications for patients with high readings but no symptoms. The study will enroll 4 hospital units and track how often new or increased blood pressure drugs are ordered. The goal is to gather information needed for a larger trial to improve patient safety.
