Measure
High Blood Pressure Monitoring and Counseling
Enrolled patients will be fitted with a HBPM device and instructed in its use. Patients will be asked to return the HBPM device on the morning of surgery. At the same time they receive the HBPM device, they will also be provided with the National Institutes of Health (NIH) booklet called "Your guide on lowering blood pressure", which has several guidelines regarding diet, exercise and lifestyle changes that can be implemented to improve blood pressure control. High Blood Pressure Monitor: High Blood Pressure Monitoring device (Omron MX3 model BP742, Omron, Shaumberg, IL)
Usual Care
The usual care group will receive brief counseling after the PAT visit which will review their blood pressure readings taken at the clinic and how they compare with the American Heart Association (AHA) blood pressure guidelines. They will be offered the suggestion that they should follow up with their primary care doctor 2-4 weeks after their surgical episode is completed, or at their earliest convenience.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 60 days

Population: The overall number of participants analyzed were those successfully reached or whose ehr information enabled determination of the outcome in each arm.

For the primary analysis, we will estimate the proportion reporting new/adjusted hypertension treatment within 60 days. The count of participants is the number of patients for whom it was determined that they had new or adjusted hypertension treatment.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 60 days

Population: 61 total patients that completed the questionnaire.

Patient Acceptance/Satisfaction With Blood Pressure Care. A questionnaire was provided to all participants, these data were not intended to be compared between treatment arms. The count of participants is the number of participants that reported they were moderately to very satisfied with their care.

OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome

Timeframe: 1 year

Population: 3 of the devices were not returned.

The proportion of patients demonstrating HBPM elevation was measured. Specific cut-offs for the interpretation of home blood pressure are controversial. The mean home blood pressure threshold was \> 135/85 mmHg as indicating hypertension, in-line with recommendations from the American Heart Association.
