title: Organizing the office for effective detection and management of hypertension.
abstract: An effective office organization for screening and follow-up of hypertensives can be simple. The physician must first adopt a policy of regularly taking blood pressures of patients who attend for any reason. Notations on the outside of the chart are a visible record and reminder. A tickler file with 12 monthly divisions provides an efficient follow-up system. There are no ethical barriers to instituting this approach.
