Comprehensive Care Program at the University of Chicago
The Comprehensive Care Program at the University of Chicago addresses the common challenge where many patients, while having a primary care doctor for outpatient care, are treated by unfamiliar doctors during hospital stays. This discontinuity can negatively impact health outcomes and patient experiences, particularly for those with complex health conditions. The program offers two innovative care models: the Comprehensive Care Physician (CCP) Program and the Comprehensive Care, Community, and Culture Program (C4P). Both models provide patients with complex medical and social needs with a dedicated physician who cares for them in both the hospital and clinic, fostering strong patient-doctor relationships that are essential for better health and healthcare.
