HEALTH CARE PROVIDER (Syn. health care professional) ; a person, a team, or an organization which delivers health care services to a patient or a subject of care. In the majority of instances this will be a professional such as a GP/FP, a nurse, a midwife, a physician assistant, a medical social worker, a physiotherapist, an occupational therapist, a dietician, or other allied health personnel. In some cultures the provider may be a lay person with limited or no medical training but with health care responsibility. (Woncadic)
