The Critical Importance of Day to Day Care

Legitimate questions that should be posed by patients and their providers alike should be: What routine testing do I need? What are the results, what do they mean, what do I do now? Is my daily medication regimen the best for me? Should my medication be changed to something safer or more effective? Should I consider a dosing change?

​

Remember, it’s quite common that a medication or combination of medications are prescribed and perpetually renewed without enough consideration given to re-assess what is optimal for the individual. Further, it’s common that goals are not achieved, particularly blood pressure control (studies indicate that 50% of Americans with hypertension are not achieving goal).

​

Sub optimization might not be critical in the course of a few months or a year but the impact is great if left ignored for 3, 5 or more years. The trajectory of care established now greatly impacts decades of life into the future.
