The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) released a guide on increasing the use of patient-generated health data (PGHD) such as daily blood pressure readings. The guide addresses integrating PGHD to promote access to care and address health disparities; differences in health literacy among patients; protecting data and using it appropriately; developing compliant systems; and evaluating the costs of implementing a PGHD program.
