Annual New Referral Growth Reaches All-Time High
for License Non-Renewal Year!
  • REFERRAL SUMMARY
  • New Referrals Fiscal Year 2002-03 represents
    the highest number of New Referrals for a medical
    license Non-Renewal Year! When compared to
    Fiscal Year 2000-01, the last fiscal year that
    was not a BME license renewal year, CPHP
    experienced an actual growth of 40 cases which is
    an increase of 17. CPHP is pleased with the
    continued growth of New Referrals throughout our
    program history. CPHP encountered an expected
    slight decrease in New Referrals of 12 when
    compared to Fiscal Year 2001-02. This was likely
    due to the fact 2002 was not a Colorado Board of
    Medical Examiners (BME) license renewal year.
    Fiscal year 2002-03 represents the second highest
    number of New Referrals in CPHP history! The
    average active caseload at any given period
    during Fiscal Year 2002-03 was 356 clients. This
    represents an increase of 5 compared to Fiscal
    Year 2001-02 (340 active client caseload).
  • Primary Presenting Problem of New Referrals A
    primary presenting problem area which best
    represents the participant is identified by a
    CPHP clinician following the completion of the
    initial intake interview. This does not mean
    that other problem areas are not present or being
    addressed with the participant at CPHP. Rather,
    the primary problem is identified for reporting
    purposes. During Fiscal Year 2002-03, the three
    most common primary presenting problems among the
    204 New Referrals were Psychiatric (23),
    Behavioral (20) and Substance Abuse (12).
  • Specialty of New Referrals During Fiscal Year
    2002-03, the specialty most frequently seen at
    CPHP was Family Practice (19), followed by
    Internal Medicine (10). In an effort to better
    understand the specialty of CPHP New Referrals,
    CPHP located a comparison data set that
    represents physicians of Colorado. See pages
    7-9. Overall, CPHP has relatively similar New
    Referral Client Specialty percentages when
    compared to Colorado Physicians, with the
    exception of slightly more prevalent CPHP clients
    with the specialties of Family Practice and
    Surgery.
  • Overview of New Referrals Of the 204 New
    Referrals, 49 were voluntary and 51 were
    mandatory. Of the total New Referrals this year,
    67 had active Colorado licenses, 11 were
    applicants, 10 had Colorado Training Licenses,
    3 were under investigation or probation, and 2
    had lapsed or inactive licenses. The remaining
    7 of New Referrals did not have licenses, which
    included medical students and physician assistant
    students. CPHP served New Referrals from 23
    counties of residence throughout Colorado with
    the most frequent county of residence among New
    Referrals being Denver County (24.5).
  • Outcome Year-to-date, CPHP inactivated
    (closed) a total of 212 cases. Of the 181
    evaluated, 168 (93) were inactivated with an
    outcome considered successful and/or
    satisfactory. CPHP is pleased with the continued
    high satisfaction outcomes.
  • Total Referrals in CPHP History Since the
    inception of the program in 1986, CPHP has
    received 2,215 referrals and has served 1,898
    participants. Of 2,215 referrals, approximately
    14 were referred more than once.

Annual Number of New Referrals Program History
1986 - Present
This graph shows the steady growth of numbers of
New Referrals in the history of the program.
Fiscal Year 2002-03 represents the highest number
of New Referrals for a medical license
Non-Renewal Year! When compared to Fiscal Year
2000-01, the last fiscal year that was not a BME
license renewal year, CPHP experienced an actual
growth of 40 cases which is an increase of 17.
CPHP is pleased with the continued growth of New
Referrals throughout our program history. CPHP
encountered an expected slight decrease in New
Referrals of 12 when compared to Fiscal Year
2001-02. This was likely due to the fact 2002
was not a Colorado Board of Medical Examiners
(BME) license renewal year. Fiscal Year 2002-03
represents the second highest number of New
Referrals in CPHP history! BME License
Renewal Years

  • During Fiscal Year 2002-03, the highest single
    source of New Referrals was Self referrals,
    representing 33 of New Referrals. This is a
    slight increase when compared to last year (30).
    CPHP continues to be proud of the amount of Self
    referrals to the program which demonstrates trust
    and confidence in CPHP.
  • Significantly, 49 of New Referrals came to CPHP
    voluntarily. 51 were mandatory referrals. Once
    again, CPHP is proud of the high percentage of
    referrals that are voluntary, as this reflects
    the respect for the program among physicians in
    the state and medical community. CPHP attributes
    this high level of voluntary referrals to the
    relationship building efforts made in the
    community, the positive and caring approach of
    CPHPs staff and provision of educational
    materials that normalizes physician experiences
    and illness.
  • The second highest single source of New Referrals
    was the Colorado Board of Medical Examiners (BME)
    (22), and Hospital (15) was the third highest
    category of referral source.
  • For definitions of referral source categories,
    see page 21.
  • The pie chart on the right reflects clients
    medical profession. The majority of clients are
    physicians without a resident status (69).
    Residents (15) comprise the second largest group
    served and physician assistants (PA) (5)
    comprise the third largest group.

Primary Presenting Problem of New Referrals
July 2002 June 2003

N204
  • A primary presenting problem area which best
    represents the participant is identified by the
    clinical team following the completion of the
    initial intake interview. This does not mean that
    other problem areas are not present or being
    addressed with the participant at CPHP. Rather,
    the primary presenting problem is identified for
    data collection and reporting purposes.
  • The three most common primary presenting problems
    among the 204 New Referrals were Psychiatric
    (23), Behavioral (20) and Substance Abuse
    (12). This representation is similar to Fiscal
    Year 2001-02 with the same top three categories
    of Psychiatric (21), Behavioral (16) and
    Substance Abuse (13).

CPHP 2002-2003 Annual ReportSpecialty of New
Referrals
  • In an effort to better understand the data about
    CPHP New Referrals, CPHP created a data table
    (see following page) comparing the data of Fiscal
    Year 2002-03 CPHP New Referral Client Specialties
    with data from the 2001 Colorado Physician Survey
    Results.
  • The 2001 Colorado Physician Survey was developed
    by the University of Colorado Health
    Sciences/Colorado Area Health Education Centers
    (AHEC) and the Colorado Board of Medical
    Examiners (BME) as a collaborative effort to be
    able to track the demographics of the physician
    population in Colorado. The statistics from the
    2001 Colorado Physician Survey were calculated
    from a one-time voluntary survey distributed to
    physicians with their licensing materials by the
    Colorado Board of Medical Examiners. The
    following statistics were computed from a
    sub-sample of the data collected in 2001. The
    data set for this analysis includes only
    physicians whose primary practice site is in
    Colorado and does not include any physicians
    identifying themselves as residents or fellows.
    The total sample size for this analysis was 6,352
    individuals.
  • CPHP notes caution in interpretation of this data
    for several reasons. First, the CPHP data set
    includes all clients referred during Fiscal Year
    2002-03 (residents, medical students, physician
    assistant students, out-of-state clients, etc.)
    while the 2001 Colorado Physician Survey data set
    contains strictly Colorado physicians. Second,
    the data sets were collected from different
    years. Lastly, while the 2001 Colorado Physician
    Survey data set is not all inclusive of the total
    number of Colorado physicians, CPHP is utilizing
    this data to assist in hypothesizing about CPHP
    clients as compared to the general Colorado
    physician population. To date, CPHP has been
    unable to locate a source that collects complete
    state-wide statistics regarding specialties of
    licensed or practicing physicians within
    Colorado.
  • The 2001 Colorado Physician Survey is the most
    complete data set found. CPHP appreciates the
    donation of this data to CPHP in an effort to
    better understand CPHP New Referral Client
    Specialty demographics.

CPHP 2002-2003 Annual ReportSpecialty of New
Referrals
  • In analyzing the data table (previous page)
    comparing the data of Fiscal Year 2002-03 CPHP
    New Referral Client Specialties with data from
    the 2001 Colorado Physician Survey Results, some
    interesting information is gleaned.
  • When examining the percent of clients seen at
    CPHP during Fiscal Year 2002-03, the specialty
    most frequently seen at CPHP is Family Practice
    (19). Clients with the specialty of Internal
    Medicine followed at 10. Twenty-one percent
    remained in progress, which means a specialty had
    not yet been identified at the time of this
    report.
  • When examining the valid percent of the
    specialties represented, the majority of
    specialties from the CPHP New Referrals are
    represented to a corresponding percentage when
    compared to the 2001 Colorado Physician Survey
    Results. All of the CPHP New Referral
    specialties are represented within 5 percent of
    the 2001 Colorado Physician Survey Results except
    for 2 specialties. Overall, CPHP has relatively
    similar New Referral Client Specialty percentages
    when compared to the physicians of Colorado (as
    represented in the Colorado Physician Survey
    Results).
  • The CPHP New Referral specialties of Family
    Practice and Surgery are slightly more prevalent
    when compared to Colorado Physician Survey
    Results. Specifically, Family Practice
    represents 25.4 of CPHP New Referrals and 16.8
    of the Colorado Physician Survey data set. This
    is a difference of 8.6. Surgery represents
    10.0 of CPHP New Referrals and 3.9 of the
    Colorado Physician Survey data set. This is a
    difference of 6.1.
  • CPHP is unsure why this elevation is seen in
    New Referrals with the specialties of Family
    Practice and Surgery, however, the actual
    difference in percent is slight. CPHP is
    cautious in hypothesizing about the relevance of
    this data due to the fact that the difference is
    less than 10 in both specialties. CPHP will
    continue to assess the CPHP data on a yearly
    basis to determine if larger differences will
    occur over time.
  • Unfortunately, the University of Colorado
    Health Sciences/Colorado Area Health Education
    Centers (AHEC) and the Colorado Board of Medical
    Examiners (BME) presently do not plan to continue
    to gather this information so the 2001 Colorado
    Physician Survey will become quickly dated. CPHP
    will continue to research sources that may gather
    this information.

  • This pie chart shows the medical license status
    of each New Referral to CPHP at the time of
    referral.
  • Of the total New Referrals this year, 67 had
    active Colorado licenses, 11 were applicants,
    10 had Colorado Training Licenses, 3 were under
    investigation or probation, and 2 had lapsed or
    inactive licenses. The remaining 7 of New
    Referrals did not have licenses, which included
    medical students and physician assistant students.

  • CPHP served New Referral clients from 23
    counties of residence throughout Colorado during
    Fiscal Year 2002-03. CPHP is pleased with the
    efforts to assist clients throughout the state.
    These results demonstrate the effective promotion
    and utilization of CPHP services state-wide.
  • The most frequent county of residence among New
    Referrals was Denver County at 24.5, followed by
    Jefferson County at 9.3 and Arapahoe County at
    7.4.

Referrals Reactivations1993 - 2003
  • Fiscal Year 2002-03 represents the highest
    number of New Referrals for a Non-Renewal Year!
    When compared to Fiscal Year 2000-01, the last
    fiscal year that was not a BME license renewal
    year, CPHP experienced an actual growth of 40
    cases which is an increase of 17. CPHP is
    pleased with the continued growth of New
    Referrals throughout our program history. CPHP
    encountered an expected slight decrease in New
    Referrals of 12 when compared to Fiscal Year
    2001-02. This was likely due to the fact 2002
    was not a Colorado Board of Medical Examiners
    (BME) license renewal year. Fiscal Year 2002-03
    represents the second highest number of New
    Referrals in CPHP history.
  • CPHP experienced the impact of license renewal
    years in 93-94, 95-96, 97-98, 99-00 and 01-02.
    Of the 204 New Referrals, 29 were reactivations.
    This represents 14 of the total New Referrals.
    This percentage is a slight decrease when
    compared to Fiscal Year 2001-02 (19). CPHP
    expects to again realize an increase in New
    Referrals in the upcoming Fiscal Year.

N29
  • Reactivation refers to when a participant
    returns to CPHP after having been inactivated.
  • Referral sources of reactivated clients are
    depicted on the left pie chart. Of 29
    participants who were reactivated, 35 Self
    referred. This is similar to Fiscal Year 2001-02
    when 39 Self referred.
  • 41 of reactivations came voluntarily to CPHP
    during Fiscal Year 2002-03. Voluntary referrals
    of reactivations have decreased when compared to
    Fiscal Year 2001-02 which had 56 voluntary
    reactivation. CPHP attributes the increase in
    mandatory referrals of reactivations due to
    improved workplace satisfaction. Namely,
    workplaces have been pleased with previous CPHP
    guidance on cases. If issues such as behavior
    problems reoccur, workplaces readily re-refer to
    CPHP.
  • Primary presenting problems of reactivated
    clients are illustrated on the right pie chart.
    These statistics reflect that reactivations most
    commonly present with problems with Behavior
    (28), followed by Substance Abuse (21) and
    Psychiatric (17). The distribution of primary
    presenting problem areas was proportionately
    higher in the category of Behavior at 28 when
    compared to percentages of total New Referrals
    for the 2002-03 Fiscal Year (20). Substance
    Abuse was also significantly higher in
    reactivations (21) when compared to Annual New
    Referrals (12). The New Referrals with a
    primary presenting problem of Psychiatric were
    proportionately lower for reactivations (17)
    when compared to percentages of total New
    Referrals for this Fiscal Year (23).

  • Inactivation refers to when a case is closed at
    CPHP. Definitions of inactivation reasons are on
    page 21.
  • For Fiscal Year 2002-03, CPHP inactivated 212
    participants and opened 204 new cases, resulting
    in a net loss of 8 cases. The client load of
    CPHP has virtually remained consistent from
    Fiscal Year 2001-02 to Fiscal Year 2002-03.
  • Of 212 inactivations, 31 (15) declined
    evaluation therefore, 181 clients were
    evaluated. Of the 181 evaluated, 168 (93) were
    inactivated with an outcome considered successful
    and/or satisfactory. CPHP maintained its high
    success rate when compared to Fiscal Year
    2001-02, which also was 93. CPHP is pleased
    with our continued high rate of satisfied
    outcomes!
  • Length of Active Status at CPHP is depicted on
    the right pie chart. The majority of
    participants (65) completed the necessary
    treatment in one year or less.

Program Highlights
  • CPHP Team Grows!
  • Sarah R. Early, Psy.D., began her new position as
    Executive Director on July 1, 2003. Dr. Early
    brings a professional history of direct care,
    administration and EAP experience.
  • CPHP welcomed new Board Directors George Dikeou,
    Esq., Maureen Garrity, Ph.D., and Sandy Maloney!
  • CPHP hired a new Associate Medical Director,
    David A. Iverson, MD!
  • CPHP expanded to include a position of
    Development Specialist to assist CPHP in the

  • CPHP Completes Office Expansion CPHP completed
    an office expansion to achieve our newly
    renovated addition of 1,138 square feet for an
    office suite total of approximately 5,000 square
    feet. This new space has been utilized to better
    serve our clients, accommodate our expanding
    staff and to allow for future growth.
  • Availability of Services In addition to CPHP
    providing services to Colorado licensed
    physicians and physician assistants, contracts
    exist to provide services for University of
    Colorado Health Sciences Center (UCHSC) Residency
    Program, Medical School, and Physician Assistant
    Program and Red Rocks Community College Physician
    Assistant Program. CPHP was pleased to also
    begin providing services to St. Josephs
    Residency Training Program.
  • Spirit of Medicine Campaign CPHP completed the
    annual Spirit of Medicine fundraising campaign
    with successful results that exceeded last years
    campaign! CPHP utilizes fundraising efforts to
    supplement expenses that exceed the Peer
    Assistance Budget. CPHP Board of Directors as
    well as CPHP staff work together to cultivate and
    extend fundraising efforts throughout the
    Colorado medical community. We are pleased with
    the show of support for CPHP and we are planning
    to utilize the funds raised for projects to
    continue improvement of client services.
  • HIPPA Through an extensive educational process
    and consultation from numerous sources, it was
    determined that CPHP has met the appropriate
    standards to be in compliance with the Health
    Insurance Portability and Accountability Act
    (HIPPA).

Program Highlights continued
  • Federation of State Physician Health Programs
    (FSPHP) CPHP continued active national
    involvement with the FSPHP during Fiscal Year
    2002-03.
  • CPHP Medical Director, Michael Gendel, MD, was
    elected President of FSPHP in May, 2003. He will
    serve a two year term. CPHP is proud to have
    Colorado representative, Michael Gendel, MD,
    provide his leadership and expertise as President
    to this national organization.
  • CPHP representatives Michael Gendel, MD, Sarah
    Early, Psy.D, Stephen Dilts, MD, Doris Gundersen,
    MD, and Scott McClure, MD, attended the FSPHP
    Annual Meeting in Chicago, IL in May, 2003.
    Presentation topics addressed at this meeting
    included toxicology and methodology of random
    testing, diversity of state programs, pain
    management for professionals, boundaries
    prescribing and professional relationships,
    workplace behavioral monitoring and spirituality
    and mindfulness. CPHP representatives welcomed
    the opportunity to network with colleagues from
    other Physician Health Programs and gain valuable
    information about physician health related
    issues.
  • In October 2002, CPHP hosted the Annual
    Conference and Meeting of the Western Region of
    the FSPHP in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
    The theme of this conference was Cultivating
    Effective Relationships. In addition to many
    presentations, a panel presentation and
    discussion on Strengthening Relationships Between
    Regulatory Boards and Physician Health Programs
    was initiated by representatives from Colorado,
    New Mexico and British Columbia. Colorado was
    represented by Susan Miller, Program
    Administrator of the Colorado Board of Medical
    Examiners and Michael Gendel, MD, Medical
    Director of the Colorado Physician Health
    Program. CPHP was pleased to host this
    informative and collaborative conference.
  • CPHP Establishes New Policy for Credentialing and
    Status Reports Due to increasing demand on CPHP
    to provide the indirect service of assisting
    medical entities and organizations in the
    credentialing process through the provision of
    credentialing and status reports, CPHP has
    established a new policy that will charge a 35
    fee per ongoing report of this nature, effective
    July 2003. Thus far feedback has been accepting,
    as charging for these types of reports tend to be
    standard practice.
  • Finance and Peer Assistance Budget CPHP
    finished Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2003, with a
    Program Operations Year-to-Date Net Loss of
    33,150.12. This can be attributed to increased
    Corporate insurance expense, costs associated
    with office expansion and increased computer
    service expense. This Net Loss was supplemented
    with cash reserves from the annual Spirit of
    Medicine Campaign.

17
Community Outreach Highlights
  • Executive Director Community Outreach Sarah
    Early, Psy.D., made a concentrated effort to meet
    the medical community of Denver and Colorado.
  • An Open House was held on August 23, 2002 for
    CPHP treatment providers and various community
    members.
  • Individual and group meetings were held for the
    Colorado Board of Medical Examiners staff,
    Attorneys General, hospital administrators and
    medical office staff, medical and physician
    assistant training programs and various other
    medical organizations. Annual reports were
    prepared and presented to appropriate agencies.
  • Additional meetings were conducted with COPIC,
    Colorado Medical Society, Colorado Society of
    Osteopathic Medicine, Center for Personalized
    Education for Physicians (CPEP) and other
    professional peer assistance programs for other
    licensing agencies, Employee Assistance
    Professionals Association, and treatment
    facilities.
  • Physician Stress and Stress Management Seminars
    CPHP and COPIC have continued to partner to
    provide the second series of Physician Stress and
    Stress Management Seminars to educate physicians
    about the importance of stress management to
    attain good health. The first series of
    presentation were completed in Aurora, Colorado
    Springs, Denver, Fort Collins, Grand Junction,
    Greeley, Longmont, Thornton, Trinidad, and Wheat
    Ridge. The second series of presentation have,
    thus far, have been presented in La Junta,
    Loveland, Metro Denver and Sterling. The second
    series will be completed in Steamboat Springs,
    Louisville, and Boulder.
  • Additional Community Presentations In addition
    to the presentations on Physician Stress, CPHP
    conducted presentations and exhibits about CPHP
    and related physician health topics. Audiences
    included Residency Programs, Medical and
    Physician Assistant Programs, Medical Societies,
