As health systems struggle to standardize care, blood pressure inaccuracy is one of the biggest areas of concern. Midmark can help.
Features
Many healthcare providers still may not be following AHA recommendations for more accurate blood pressure measurement.1 If this isn't addressed, it leaves health systems at serious risk. 30 million Americans are at risk by overestimating true blood pressure by 5 mmHg, leading to inappropriate treatment and unnecessary cost.2 Multiply the cost of treatment for hypertension by the typical patient panel size and the cost of overtreatment could be as much as $135,000 per each practicing physician.3 The impact of overmedication can also result in complications such as dizziness, fainting, exhaustion or even patient falls. The Midmark 626 is the first chair of its kind designed to promote proper patient positioning for a more accurate blood pressure measurement.
