To ensure that hypertension patients are treated well and readmission costs reduce, many researchers suggest using Self-management Education and Support (DSMES) to connect the patient with many resources to enhance health outcomes. However, the self-management of hypertension also requires nurses to guide the patients in the right direction which requires better education of nurses. According to Bress et al(2017) study, nurses should know more about Hypertension Self-Management Education (HSME) techniques to improve patients’ overall health outcomes. Through better education, nurses can gain better skills to combat hypertension with the implementation of the HSMES paradigm. The strategy improves skills and helps nurses to acquire more knowledge about the best interventions to improve the quality of care. for example, nurses can better learn how to guide patients about medication adherence, taking exercise, and a healthy diet. The role of education in hypertension is vital in terms of using knowledge-based compliance and a patient-centered approach. Moreover, the implementation of the HSMES techniques will empower nurses with financial and non-financial resources to combat hypertension and seek the right supervision. Moreover, another model that can help to increase the skills of nurses is the DSMES model to gain more knowledge related to hypertension and heart diseases, etc. The program is important because it allows cost-effectiveness and also promotes medication adherence and lowers pharmaceutical costs.
The government has suggested and established several other insurance schemes government to regulate national insurance firms to help patients reduce their healthcare expenditures. This includes getting the right hypertension equipment. The National Standards and Guidelines from the NHA also suggest using a knowledgeable and trained nursing workforce who can rely on the guidance of hypertension experts. This will ensure that interdisciplinary teams are interacting well to ensure patient-related results and promote a healthy environment for nurses to reduce hospitalizations (Powers, 2019). Moreover, for better management of hypertension, nurses require an integrated therapeutic approach that includes following a nutrition plan that follows the guidelines of the NHA to provide the best diet to the patients. More technological apps can link nurses with better hypertension management. This brings us to the importance of using telehealth tools.
Modern health practices need a better plan for blood pressure management and hypertension. The stress of patients as well as of nurses’ has been increasing due to long working hours of non-stop hard work. The chosen patient was not aware of the consequence of hypertension on his mental health. The research shows that the healthcare system in the US is also plagued by a prevalence of hypertension issues and there is an acute shortage of well-trained nursing instructors and experts in this field Luger (2019). Therefore, from the United States Nursing Health Care Board suggests nurses and hospitals improve their coordination and use good leadership practices. These policies and guidelines can impact the scope of nurses to improve the interventions. Nurses can use these state board and government rules to mitigate better plans for the abatement of hypertension in the organizations.
The American Hypertension Association’s National Standard Guidelines are helpful in this context to help nurses implement the right blood glucose levels within a specified range. This practice also helps nurses to plan the best dietary changes for hypertension patients. Moreover, the International Hypertension Federation also provides nurses with HbA1C management guidelines; nurses should use a target range of 7.0 percent and ensure that they can help patients make lifestyle changes to maintain normal body blood pressure (Bress et al., 2017). Similarly, the role of the National Heart Association is also crucial in helping nurses suggest lower cholesterol levels by consuming healthy fats and avoiding oily meals. Using these strategies can help to reduce the costs of patients and also allow hospitals to reduce their financial burden by ensuring the use of effective equipment, sphygmomanometers, and medications.
Moreover, according to the study published by Kashani et al. (2019), the role of organizational culture is pivotal in ensuring safe, efficient, and high-quality outcomes of hypertension. The study suggests training
