What Prime Education does
Prime Education, LLC is a privately held accredited continuing medical education (CME) provider founded in April 1994 by Kathleen Moreo, headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and operating as an autonomous subsidiary of Everyday Health Group since its August 2018 acquisition. The company designs and delivers interprofessional continuing education and quality improvement (QI) programs for healthcare professionals across federal, military/VA, payer, provider, academic, and community health settings, and earns multiple William Campbell Felch Awards and Alliance Industry Summit Best in Class distinctions.
The company's core methodology is the integrated Quality of Care Education (iQCE™) model, launched in 2013, which combines real-world data analytics, chart audits, and tethered patient/provider surveys to produce measurable behavioral and clinical-outcome change. PRIME's product portfolio includes Systems-Based Learning interventions, Performance Improvement Modules for specialty-board maintenance of certification, a Patient-Provider Model of Learning, and a PRIME Network of digital platforms — CMEToolkit.com, MilitaryCME.com, ManagedCare.network, AfterMD.com, and GME Today. Disease-specific toolkits in hepatitis B/C, sickle cell disease, hemophilia, IBD, and hypercholesterolemia, plus the Lipid.Care web apps, complement the educational portfolio.
Revenue is generated primarily through educational grants from pharmaceutical and medical device companies (with AbbVie, Gilead, and Genentech explicitly cited) supplemented by quality-improvement program contracts with health systems and federal agencies accessed via the company's GSA Schedule contract. With approximately 40 employees, of whom roughly half hold doctorate or master's degrees, PRIME maintains long-standing strategic alliances with PCORI, AHRQ, AGA, AMCP, AHA, NTOCC, SCDAA, NHF, the World Hepatitis Alliance, and AEHVE, and operates in the United States, Europe, and Latin America.
