Improving efficiency of the Barbershop model of hypertension care for black men with virtual visits

Journal of the American Heart Association Jun 25, 2021

Blyler CA, Ebinger J, Rashid M, et al. - This study was undertaken to investigate if virtual visits could be substituted for in‐person visits after blood pressure (BP) control was achieved. Researchers recruited a total of 10 Black male patrons with systolic BP ≥ 140 mm Hg into a proof‐of‐concept study in which barbers promoted follow‐up with pharmacists who initially met each patron in the barbershop, where they prescribed BP medication under a collaborative practice agreement with the patrons' physician. They evaluated final BP and safety outcomes at 12 months. The results of this study demonstrate that virtual visits represent a viable substitute for in‐person visits, both improving pharmacist efficiency and decreasing cost while preserving intervention potency.
