Abstract
Clinical undertaking of an ABPM program is no small endeavor. Current reimbursements are marginal and start up, as well as maintenance, costs are significant. A checklist for one’s resolve in undertaking the establishment of 24-h ABPM might include the following:
-
The purchase of software and of ABPM devices.
-
Training of staff to initialize, manage, and enable draft ABPM reports.
-
Education of patients while wearing the ABP monitor.
-
Expectations of what constitutes an “adequate” ABPM recording.
-
A plan to deal with phone calls while patients are wearing the ABP Monitor.
-
What to do with the diary that patients bring back to the clinic?
-
Recognition of patterns on ABPM and adequate expertise to comment on the clinical question that generated the ABPM request.
