Private Health Partnership and Concierge Medicine

For over ten years, I have served on the medical advisory board of Castle Connolly Ltd, a medical company devoted to identifying America’s top doctors and to empowering, protecting, and optimizing the physician/doctor relationship.

Castle Connolly is now expanding its business by entering the arena of concierge medicine, both in the United States and abroad. There is a yearning here and elsewhere for private physician-patient relationships outside the realm of government.

For more information on how to join the concierge movement, visit ccphp.net or call 1-212-367-1950.

Here is the concierge private health partnership as envisioned by Castle-Connolly.

The CCPHP program offers a strong value proposition for both physician practices and patients. Key benefits include:

-- Conversion sales & marketing expertise with demonstrated success in both retaining patients and improving their satisfaction

--Increased emphasis on important aspects of patient care such as prevention, wellness, and chronic disease management

-- Longer and unhurried patient visits

-- Outstanding patient experience of care

-- Expanded collaboration between physicians and patients

Access to a proprietary health coaching model that provides staff with training, content, and ongoing support from national experts

These features lead to stronger physician-patient relationships and more desirable healthcare outcomes - a true win/win for patients and physicians.
