The Colorado Physician Health Program.
The Colorado Physician Health Program (CPHP), established in 1986, is a peer assistance program for impaired physicians modeled after employee assistance programs in business and industry. The CPHP involves identification, evaluation, treatment referral, monitoring, advocacy, and support for physicians who are experiencing problems severe enough to threaten their careers. The program is funded through a legislated funding mechanism that allows a portion of state physician licensure fees to be used to assist impaired physicians.
