Survey: Help us remove barriers to standardised automated office blood pressure (AOBP) measurement

Take a 10-minute survey to help identify practical barriers and enable wider implementation of guideline recommended BP measurement.

About the study

Standardised automated office blood pressure (AOBP) measurement is now recommended across clinical practice guidelines for the diagnosis and management of hypertension. AOBP delivers more accurate and reliable readings and often yields lower values than conventional office BP measurements.

However, the capacity to implement standardised AOBP varies between clinical settings. This survey seeks to identify which specific elements of the recommended AOBP procedure clinicians and services perceive as implementable and which they see as barriers. Findings will inform targeted interventions to improve uptake and consistency of BP measurement in routine practice.

How to participate

  • The survey takes around 10 minutes to complete.
  • It lists all elements recommended in the standardised AOBP procedure; please rate the degree to which each element is a barrier to implementing standardised AOBP for all of your patients (do not limit your responses to how you currently measure BP).
  • If you work at more than one outpatient clinical site, you are welcome to complete a separate survey for each site.

Your input will help shape practical solutions to improve BP measurement and patient care.
