Many healthcare providers are not aware of current standards for proper blood pressure measurement.1 If this isn’t addressed, it leaves health systems at serious risk. 9.8% of the population is affected by overestimation of high blood pressure errors.2Multiply 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 of its kind designed to promote proper patient positioning for a more accurate blood pressure measurement.
