Definition(s)

  • In the health care context, a provider is a health care professional who acts at the interface between a patient (customer) and the health care delivery system. Providers can have many different faces, from the physician who serves to direct the overall care of a patient to nurses who make sure that specific elements of care are delivered, to professionals, such as physical therapists, who treat a specific portion of a patient's clinical condition. [Source: Encyclopedia of Health Care Management; Provider]
