REPS registers IQ INTERQUIROFANOS S.A (NIT 900071466) as an IPS with two sites in Medellín and the JCI accreditation is held directly by the facility. It is a host facility: the 50+ surgeons are affiliated and no per-procedure operator is assigned, so board certification is not evaluated per operator. The facility can supply the per-procedure clinical-responsibility detail.

What this register does NOT measure We do not rate the result of a procedure, a surgeon's skill, complications or "who's better". We verify structural facts: the facility's REPS habilitación, the responsible clinician's RETHUS registration, specialist certification (SCCP), advertising-claim integrity and structural transparency — and where something is unconfirmed, we say so.
