We are planning a very special issue of our Fall magazine to honor and recognize all Iowa family physicians and we need your help!

PRIME Registry (primeregistry.org) is pleased to announce support for practices participating in the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS)  Primary Care First(professionalismandvalue.org) (PCF) payment model.

PRIME Registry, the Qualified Clinical Data Registry established by the American Board of Family Medicine, currently supports the Merit-Based Incentive Payment Program (MIPS) and Comprehensive Primary Care Plus (CPC+). PRIME Registry provides users with a web-based, user-friendly dashboard and a suite of additional tools that help provide primary care practices and clinicians a faster, easier way to evaluate performance on clinical quality measures, participate in quality improvement initiatives, identify gaps in care, and understand the social determinants of health that may be affecting patient outcomes.

PRIME Registry, a partner of the Center for Professionalism and Value in Health Care,(www.cms.gov) exists to relieve quality reporting burden, improve quality assessment and improvement, prioritize measures that matter, and attract resources to primary care to support comprehensive, relationship-rich care. PRIME Registry is a testbed for more meaningful clinical quality measures as part of the Center's Measures That Matter initiative.

Practices that do not already utilize PRIME Registry are invited to learn more, register for an interactive demo, or enroll at primeregistry.org. PRIME Registry is free of charge for the first year for ABFM Diplomates, but is open to ALL primary care clinicians.
