The Institute for Medical Quality (IMQ) is different from other health-care quality organizations in that it makes providing quality care easier and eliminates, rather than creates, barriers to doing so. What makes IMQ special is its emphasis on education, counseling, and direct involvement of practicing physicians.
Some, but not all, IMQ programs involve surveys of facilities and medical practices. Each program is carefully developed and continuously updated by physicians whose practices are similar to those they are currently evaluating or advising. Physician surveyors make every effort to keep materials relevant, current, and meaningful, and discard components that may be outdated or unnecessarily burdensome. IMQ offers a wide range of educational, accreditation, consultation, and certification programs.
