Case Study: Melissa avoids hypertensive crisis complications with Prevounce Care Management

Melissa prevents complications from a 208/104 mmHg hypertensive crisis with Prevounce

Prevounce provided care management services to a patient named Melissa, who was enrolled in a remote patient monitoring (RPM) program for hypertension. Her challenge was a sudden and severe hypertensive crisis, with blood pressure readings of 208/104 mmHg accompanied by concerning symptoms, posing a significant and immediate health risk.

The solution involved Prevounce's care manager actively monitoring the situation, directly advising Melissa, and recognizing the emergency. The Prevounce care manager coordinated emergency medical services and the fire department for immediate intervention, stayed on the line to provide support, and ensured safe transport to the hospital. This timely action likely prevented serious complications. Furthermore, Prevounce's team ensured continuity of care by thoroughly documenting the event and following up with Melissa's provider.
