TLDR
Correct measurement of BP is affected by a wide range of factors and is challenging to accomplish consistently in primary care, and the findings may inform the design of performance improvement programs to maximize the quality of BP measurement in the outpatient setting.Abstract:
Background: Despite the high prevalence of blood pressure (BP) measurement errors in the outpatient setting, little is known about why primary care clinics struggle to achieve consistently accurate...read more

TL;DR: It is increasingly recognized that office measurements correlate poorly with blood pressure measured in other settings, and that they can be supplemented by self-measured readings taken with validated devices at home, which gives a better prediction of risk than office measurements and is useful for diagnosing white-coat hypertension.
