Which document outlines the procedures for reporting a provider's failure to meet standards of care?

The correct answer is the Department of Defense Instruction (DoDI) 6010.15. This document specifically addresses the procedures for reporting incidents related to standards of care and ensures that healthcare providers within the Department of Defense maintain high-quality care. It outlines the mechanisms for reporting and addressing failures in standards, thereby promoting accountability and patient safety within military healthcare settings.

The other options do not focus explicitly on reporting standards of care. The United States Code encompasses a broad range of federal laws but does not provide detailed procedural guidance on healthcare provider accountability. DoDI 1332.18 primarily pertains to the administrative separation of military personnel and does not cover procedures for reporting healthcare standards. Patient Safety Instructions focus on safety protocols and quality improvements, but the specific procedural guidelines related to reporting failures in standards of care are contained in DoDI 6010.15.
