In the U.S.:

Definition:
The standard of care is generally defined as “the level and type of care that a reasonably competent and skilled health care professional, with a similar background and in the same medical community, would have provided under the same or similar circumstances.”

Legal Standing:
Unlike the UK, there is no single codified document or government-issued SOC in the U.S. Instead, it is a legal concept used in malpractice litigation. Courts rely on expert testimony, medical guidelines, and professional consensus to determine what the SOC was in a given case.
• Sources of SOC:
• Peer-reviewed medical literature
• Specialty society guidelines (e.g., American Society of Clinical Oncology, American Heart Association)
• FDA-approved labeling and accepted treatment protocols
• Expert witness testimony in court
• Common clinical practice patterns
