Hospitals that achieve accreditation and licensure are required to submit to formalized, comprehensive evaluations by on-site surveyors who assess compliance with health, quality and safety standards and regulations. These surveys are conducted regularly and involve participation from the entire hospital organization.
Licensure

The State of California requires hospitals to be licensed by the California Department of Health Services (DHS).

The survey includes physical plant evaluation, kitchen and dietary services, patient care, pharmacy services, and other areas that effect patient care.
CMS Standards
Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian is recognized by CMS as meeting the Medicare standards.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) has developed Conditions of Participation (CoPs) that health care organizations must meet to participate in the Medicare and Medicaid programs. These standards are used to improve quality and protect the health and safety of beneficiaries. CMS also ensures that the standards of accrediting organizations recognized by CMS (through a process called "deeming") meet or exceed Medicare standards.
