The ABFM PRIME Registry now offers a game-changing benefit: your CMS improvement activities automatically count for ABFM Performance Improvement (PI) credit.

The Problem Solved

Many family physicians participate in MIPS or MIPS Value Pathways, submitting improvement activities that demonstrate their commitment to better patient care. Previously, these same activities had to be re-documented separately for ABFM PI credit, creating unnecessary administrative burden.

Your Solution

PRIME Registry participants can now bridge their CMS-submitted improvement activities directly to ABFM requirements. Diplomates can simply submit once to CMS through PRIME and receive credit for both programs automatically.

How It Works

PRIME transforms your existing EHR data into clinical quality measures and dashboards with no extra data entry required. The registry uses information you already document daily, supporting CMS reporting while providing tools like Care Gap and PHATE modules to identify improvement opportunities and track progress.

Diplomates enrolled in PRIME no longer need separate PI documentation if their improvement activities are reported to CMS. This initiative reflects ABFM’s commitment to reducing administrative burden while supporting meaningful work that improves patient and community health.
