primary care dashboard
(Published June 2026)
In collaboration with Massachusetts Health Quality Partners, CHIA publishes the primary care dashboard to monitor the health of the primary care system in the Commonwealth.
A high-functioning primary care system can lead to more equitable care, lower costs, and better patient outcomes. Access to these services improves overall population health and can reduce avoidable emergency department visits.
The June 2026 Primary Care Dashboard updates previously published metrics with the latest data available. New measures include information on prenatal and postpartum care, the primary care workforce, breakdowns of primary care service spending, and other metrics. A new utilization domain provides more details on how individuals engage with the Massachusetts health care system.
Since the dashboard’s launch in 2023, interest in primary care in Massachusetts has continued to grow, prompting broader attention and policy focus.

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 6 domains:
The interactive workbook enables users to stratify certain measures by geography, payer type, clinician group, age group, primary care service category, and sociodemographic dimensions. The accompanying databook includes multi-year trends where available.
