Key Resources for Hypertension Control

Key Resource

Resolve to Save Lives

In this new guide from Resolve to Save Lives, large-scale hypertension programs can better find patients who are overdue for a health visit and bring them back to care. Reducing loss to follow-up is a leading way to improve hypertension control and reduce deaths from heart attacks and strokes. Phone calls, text messages, and home visits keep patients retained in treatment.

Program managers can use this resource to support their staff to track and manage overdue patients and successfully get them the care they need.
