About PRIME Registry
About PRIME Registry
PRIME Registry™ is there to help reduce the amount of time you spend with quality data, so you can get back to your patients, and back to doing more of what you love—in medicine, and life!
PRIME Registry is Family Medicine’s outpatient clinical data registry and Qualified Clinical Data Registry (QCDR). But it’s so much more.
PRIME was established to help provide family physicians and primary care clinicians a faster, easier way to evaluate practice performance, with built in tools for population health, risk stratification, empanelment and more, all designed to improve primary care practice and patient outcomes, and reduce the burden of reporting for CMS payment programs (like MIPS), at no extra cost.
PRIME Registry is open to all primary care clinicians, including Family Physicians, general internists, general pediatricians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants and many other clinical team members. PRIME uses the data from your EHR (Electronic Health Record), mapping it to a robust set of quality measures presented in an easy to use dashboard that allows clinicians and practices to view and track measure performance data at the practice, clinician and patient level.
PRIME is more than MIPS
Since its launch in 2016, ABFM has expanded PRIME beyond the bounds of quality reporting for CMS, adding new tools to simplify more reporting and quality improvement activities, as well as tools to satisfy continuous certification requirements for ABFM diplomates. These tools are included with the full PRIME subscription as integrated apps in the PRIME user dashboard.
PRIME Dashboard Apps
PHATE
With PHATE™ Population Health Assessment Engine, practices can connect demographic information, along with disease concentrations and deprivation levels, to bring deeper insight into your patients’ health situations, and provide local resources for improved outcomes.
ABFM-PI
The Performance Improvement (PI) Activity dashboard app allows ABFM Diplomates to complete a Performance Improvement activity using data from their EHR and earn points toward certification.
CPC+
The Patient Empanelment and Risk Stratification and care teams apps support CPC+ reporting needs, and can also help other practices with a team-based approach to care.
MIPS Web Tool
To accommodate practices without EHRs or without compatible EHRs, the MIPS Web Tool App is now available with a Manual Entry subscription plan, at a lower cost than the full PRIME Registry dashboard.

EMR Compatibility List
PRIME Registry works by pulling data from your Electronic Medical Record (or Electronic Health Record) and mapping it to a robust set of quality measures. Check the list below to find out if your EMR is compatible. If you don’t see your EMR/EHR on the list, you can still enroll in PRIME. Simply choose the Manual Data Entry Plan option. If your EMR becomes compatible after you enroll, we’ll notify you.
Measures in PRIME
PRIME is a Qualified Clinical Data Registry (QCDR), approved by CMS as a vehicle for MIPS reporting. PRIME also supports practices in CPC+. The Quality Measures in the registry Dashboard can be filtered by measure set, or, measures can be marked and filtered as favorites.
