Telemonitoring Hypertension and Breast Cancer
Tracking Social Outcomes of Hypertension in Women With Breast Cancer
The goal of this clinical trial-prospective study will provide important information on equitable implementation strategies to improve hypertension management in women with breast cancer by evaluating the feasibility and safety of remote hypertension management using home blood pressure telemonitoring that will provide individualized hypertension management, health and wellness education for hypertension prevention of women with breast cancer stages I-IV. Also this study may provide evidence to inform a potential paradigm shift in joint social and clinical management of hypertension that future studies may use to address complex social and clinical comorbidities that affect women with hypertension in Mississippi. The main questions this study aims to answer are:
- To examine the feasibility of using home BP telemonitoring to provide individualized hypertension management in a population of women with breast cancer and food insecurity.
- To examine the effectiveness of telemonitoring in achieving 2017 ACC/AHA guidelines for hypertension control in women with breast cancer and food insecurity using the RE-AIM framework.
- To pilot the integration of a community service partnership to decrease food insecurity in the 40 women who participate in the home BP telemonitoring program.
Using the mailed telemonitoring kit (iPad tablet and Blood Pressure Cuff) the participants of this study will be asked to access a daily health session using iPad and obtain a blood pressure measurement using blood pressure cuff that transmits readings wirelessly via Bluetooth to the tablet which is uploaded directly to the participants UMMC electronic health records. Participants are asked to obtain two consecutive blood pressure measurements during each session and register at least 6 sessions per week. The study duration will be 6 months. Every 2 weeks blood pressure measurements will be assessed. If less than 75% of measurements are at goal systolic blood pressure 75% of measurements are at goal systolic blood pressure<130mmHg and diastolic blood pressure <80mmHg, the patients nurse coordinator will contact them via telephone and assess for medication adherence and report to the patient's primary care provider and oncologist.

Detailed Description
This is a prospective pilot study with collaborating sites of UMMC Cancer Center Research Institute, UMMC Cancer Treatment Center, UMMC Center for National Telehealth Center for Excellence and UMMC Myrlie Evers-Williams Institute for the Elimination of Health Disparities. The study aims to evaluate the feasibility and safety of remote hypertension management using a home blood pressure telemonitoring to provide individualized hypertension management, health and wellness education for hypertension prevention of women with breast cancer stages I-IV in Mississippi at the UMMC Cancer Treatment Center. Additionally, the study will examine the effectiveness of remote hypertension management using home BP telemonitoring in achieving BP control with 2017 ACC/AHA guidelines. Further, the study will assess the social determinant of health screening and service connection with UMMC EversCare and is a part of Myrlie Evers-Williams Institute for Elimination of Health Disparities to decrease food insecurity in 40 women patients who participate in the remote hypertension management monitoring pilot project using home BP telemonitoring program.
Patients with breast cancer and elevated BP, as identified by UMMC electronic health record, will be initially recruited for study enrollment and obtain informed consent by Breast Oncologist and/or Primary Care Providers. The patients will then be contacted by Telehealth Nurse Coordinator and/or Research Specialist via telephone to confirm consent of participation, awareness of who will be their contact through-out the study and confirm address to mail telemonitoring kit. Patients will be mailed a telemonitoring kit including an iPad tablet equipped with a wireless BP cuff that transmits measurements directly to the UMMC EHR and monitored by the UMMC Center for Telehealth. Consenting patients will participate in a 6-month intervention period during which they will transmit daily blood pressure recordings with regular contact by a Telehealth Nurse Coordinator who will also provide education and encourage healthy lifestyle habits. Study patients will be instructed to access a daily "health session" which begins by asking two questions include: 1) "Have you taken your medications in the past 24 hours?" and 2) "Are you having any problems that you would like your nurse coordinator to call you about before the next scheduled call?" Patients will then obtain a BP measurement using the appropriate technique. Patients are asked to obtain two consecutive BP measurements during each session and register at least 6 sessions per week. Patients are encouraged to equally divide daily health sessions between the morning and evenings and patients may register more than one session per day. If less than 75% of measurements are at goal systolic BP <140 mmHg and diastolic BP <90 mmHg, the patient's Telehealth Nurse Coordinator will contact them and assess for medication adherence and report to the patients Breast Oncologist and/or Primary Care Provider.
The Breast Oncologist and/or Primary Care Provider will be provided with a monthly report of the patient's progress including medication, biometric information and any hospital or clinic visits. Food resource provision. Implementation procedures for providing food resources will be tailored and evaluated in partnership with UMMC Ambulatory EversCare-MEWI. Data analysis will track metrics of study enrollment, study completion, safety and BP change from baseline. Much of the study protocol is based on a recently published clinical trial demonstrating significantly improved BP control using home BP telemonitoring as compared to usual care.

Participation Criteria
Eligibility Criteria
Ages Eligible for Study
Accepts Healthy Volunteers
Description
Inclusion Criteria:
- Eligibility and exclusion criteria are intended to capture a population broadly representative of breast cancer patient's stages I-IV with hypertension, while excluding patients with hypertension complicated by major co-morbidities as determined by chart review who would not be appropriate for algorithmic management.
- Clinical/study eligibility will be confirmed by the patient's Breast Oncologist and/or Primary Care Providers who will refer identified patients or provide permission for outreach to eligible patients for recruitment into the pilot study.
- Patients eligible for the intervention must meet all eligibility criteria intended to identify breast cancer patients with hypertension and positive screening for food insecurity according to the 2017 ACC/AHA Guidelines, healthcare provider hypertension diagnosis and Hunger Vital Signs Tool United States Departments of Agriculture:
- Women ages 18 years and older UMMC breast cancer patients in stages I-IV as primary diagnosis within the last three years and who were diagnosed with hypertension exceeding 2017 ACC/AHA guidelines of ≥ 140 mmHg and/or diastolic BP ≥ 90 mmHg will be identified from UMMC electronic health records (EHR).
- Women ages 18 years and older UMMC breast cancer patients in stages I-IV as a primary diagnosis within the last three years with physician-coded hypertension, who have their most recently documented blood pressures exceeding 2017 ACC/AHA guidelines of ≥ 140 mmHg and/or diastolic BP ≥ 90 mmHg in at least three consecutive instances in the EHR, three consecutive high BP measurements within 12 months, consistent with SNOMED coded phenotypes for hypertension identify from UMMC EHR records (A diagnosis of hypertension).
