Primary Care Dashboard

Since the dashboard’s launch in 2023, interest in primary care in Massachusetts has continued to grow, prompting broader attention and policy focus.

CHIA and MHQP developed this dashboard to inform targeted policy solutions and investments as well as monitor the impact of such reforms. In addition, the dashboard provides a fact base to support the work of the Commonwealth’s Primary Care Access, Delivery, and Payment Task Force.

The dashboard measures the health of primary care across five domains:

Finance – metrics focused on spending for primary care services
Performance – metrics focused on access and care
Capacity – metrics focused on the primary care workforce and pipeline
Equity – metrics focused on assessing inequities in the primary care system

The most recent version of the primary care dashboard updates previously published metrics with the latest data available. New measures presented in the access and care domains include resident visits to Federally Qualified Health Centers and chronic disease control monitoring.

The interactive workbook enables users to stratify certain measures by geography, payer type, and sociodemographic dimensions. The accompanying databook includes multi-year trends where available.
