Merge?

Why is there a separate article called Standards of care? WhatamIdoing 05:06, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have merged Standards of care here. --Una Smith (talk) 02:18, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Standard vs state of the art

PMID 15907902, in the abstract, makes an important distinction between standard of care and "state of the art"; a discussion of this distinction may be appropriate in this article. --Una Smith (talk) 03:16, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Someone (not me) tagged the article as lacking references. Below are some candidate references. --Una Smith (talk) 03:42, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Professional standard of care

I am concerned that this sentence is not up to Wikipedia quality standards and ought to be removed or cited: "The standard of care is not relevant in many cases and is only there to help the defendant." 216.55.25.6 (talk) 18:40, 6 June 2011 (UTC)papillonderecherche[reply]

Opposition to Medical Standards of Care?

Perhaps it would be suitable to add a remark about pseudo-scientific opposition to medical standards of care:

e.g., "Standard of Care treatments as defined by the AANP [American Association of Naturopathic Physicians] shall not be construed as synonymous with evidence based treatments. Rather naturopathic physicians shall have the broadest latitude for treatment options as it is recognized that advances in medicine come from ideas and observations by the astute physician and are then validated by the scientific method." -http://www.naturopathicstandards.org/pages/proposal.html

I believe the misguided smug in such a medical philosophy has the potential to harm, mislead, and take advantage of patients. Trhermes (talk) 18:17, 23 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Common standards of care

Under medical standards I’d care is a section called “some common standards of care”

There are 2 examples, the 2nd being the standards of care for transgender transexual and gender non conforming people”

This should be replaced with a COMMON and straightforward example. Because:

This is not a “common” standard of care, as would be Brest or prostate cancer standards or any number of very common medical conditions, or even mental health conditions such as depressive disorder or OCD.

The transgender standards of care are also extremely complex and hotly debated. I suspect this was put here to link people to an article promoting a certain perspective on this care standard.

Furthermore transgender, transexual and gender nonconforming are not medical diagnoses. (“Gender nonconforming” is not a synonym for Disorders of Sexual Development - DSDs, a group of ~40 congenital conditions)

There may be a standard of care for a diagnosis of Gender Dysphoria, but again this is an uncommon condition when compared to generalized anxiety disorder, bipolar disorder etc 216.110.200.138 (talk) 01:42, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
