Accreditation
The Institute of Surgical Arts Accreditation is by the Institute of Medical Quality (IMQ).
IMQ's Ambulatory Program promotes quality care and assures compliance with government regulations. The standards, developed by California physicians practicing in the ambulatory setting, meet the specific needs of California facilities. The essential standards for administration, personnel/credentialing, quality management, medical records, treatment, surgical/ invasive procedures, and anesthesia services ensure compliance with California Health and Safety Code 1248 (AB 595) and other California laws and regulations. In addition, the physicians also examine existing standards and community practice to ensure appropriateness in developing the standards.
The program provides California facilities and physicians the opportunity for review by peers who are familiar with issues specific to California medical practices. On site, educational consultation and assistance are available throughout the accreditation process.
Accreditation by IMQ is recognized by many liability carriers, workers' compensation and insurers, as well as the Medical Board of California.

Health Care Provider
A health care provider is an individual or an institution that provides preventive, curative, promotional or rehabilitative health care services in a systematic way to individuals, families or communities.
An individual health care provider (also known as a health worker) may be a health care professional, an allied health professional, a community health worker, or another person trained and knowledgeable in medicine, nursing or other allied health professions, or public/community health. Institutions (also known as health facilities) include hospitals, clinics, primary care centers and other service delivery points. The practice of health professionals and operation of health care institutions is typically regulated by national or state/provincial authorities through appropriate regulatory bodies for purposes of quality assurance. Together, they form part of an overall health care system.
A hospital is an institution for health care typically providing specialized treatment for inpatient (or overnight) stays. Some hospitals primarily admit patients suffering from a specific disease or affection, or are reserved for the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting a specific age group. Others have a mandate that expands beyond offering dominantly curative and rehabilitative care services to include promotional, preventive and educational roles as part of a primary health care approach. Today, hospitals are usually funded by the state, health organizations (for profit or non-profit), by health insurances or by charities and by donations. Historically, however, they were often founded and funded by religious orders or charitable individuals and leaders. Hospitals are nowadays staffed by professionally trained doctors, nurses, paramedical clinicians, etc., whereas in history, this work was usually done by the founding religious orders or by volunteers.
Health care practitioners includes physicians (including general practitioners and specialists), dentists, physician assistants, nurses (including advanced practice registered nurses), midwives, pharmacists, dietitians, therapists, psychologists, chiropractors, clinical officers, and phlebotomists. Therapist Include: physical therapists, respiratory therapists, occupational therapists, audiologists, speech pathologists, optometrists, emergency medical technicians, paramedics, medical laboratory technicians, medical prosthetic technicians, radiographers, social workers, and a wide variety of other human resources trained to provide some type of health care service. They often work in hospitals, health care centers and other service delivery points, but also in academic training, research and administration. Some provide care and treatment services for patients in private homes. Many countries have a large number of community health workers who work outside of formal health care institutions. Managers of health care services, medical records and health information technicians, and other assistive personnel and support workers are also considered a vital part of health care teams.
Medical nursing homes, including residential treatment centers and geriatric care facilities, are health care institutions which have accommodation facilities and which engage in providing short-term or long-term medical treatment of a general or specialized nature not performed by hospitals to inpatients with any of a wide variety of medical conditions. concierge medicine allows consumers to contract directly with a doctor for complete,
