Association of an Automated Blood Pressure Measurement Quality Improvement Program With Terminal Digit Preference and Recorded Mean Blood Pressure in 11 Clinics

This quality improvement study examines differences in terminal digit preferences, mean recorded blood pressure levels, and diagnoses of hypertension when blood pressure is measured manually vs with an automated monitor.
