CCPHP brings the excellence associated with the Castle Connolly brand to the discipline of concierge medicine. Concierge membership programs established with CCPHP provide members with same-day or next-day appointments with their physician. Physicians practicing in a concierge environment typically have smaller patient panels, which means they can spend more time seeing patients instead of pushing paper and playing the game of ācat and mouseā to prevent long patient wait times.
Because a concierge medicine program supports strong physician-patient collaboration, both individuals now have more time to focus on patient wellness and preventive care. This physician availability and continuity, as well as reasonable wait times, encourage trust between patients and physicians.6 In turn, this trust creates stronger physician-patient relationships, which leads to higher patient satisfaction and wellness and increased job satisfaction and less stress for physicians. Everybody wins.
