Economics of Team-based Care for Blood Pressure Control: Updated Community Guide Systematic Review.
This paper examined the recent evidence from economic evaluations of team-based care for controlling high blood pressure. ⋯ Intervention cost and net cost were higher in the U.S. than in other high-income countries. Healthcare cost averted did not exceed intervention cost in most studies. The evidence shows that team-based care for blood pressure control is cost-effective, reaffirming the favorable cost-effectiveness conclusion reached in the 2015 systematic review.
