Journal Title: IP International Journal of Forensic Medicine and Toxicological Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
The rural and urban health training centres provide curative and follow up care of diagnosed hypertension case. They also provide defined interventions for prevention and screening of the disease within their catchment areas. Apart from the availability of essential medicine and simple medical equipment, treatment protocols are essential for appropriate management for non communicable diseases like hypertension. The benefits of adoption and use of standardized, evidencebased protocol for management of hypertension are 1. Protocols reduce clinical variability that is outside the bounds of evidence-based practice. 2. A protocol can better enlist and enable all members of the health care team to reinforce the importance of blood pressure control and the value of adherence to healthy habits, medications, and selfmonitoring, allows qualified staff to advance patients safely and efficiently along the treatment pathway, ensures that the supervising clinician is consulted if clinical exceptions occur. 3. Algorithms can be incorporated into electronic health records through clinical decision support tools to facilitate quality improvement. 4. A protocol can result in a more efficient and cost effective selection of medications and treatment approaches. 5. Standardized treatment facilitates evaluation, both the quality and impact quality of care. 6. Adopting a standardized treatment approach sends a strong signal to clinical staff that hypertension control is a priority.
