Experts disagree if the standards should be the actual outcomes of care, or a list of processes to be followed.  Critics of the program argue that doctors may be forced to pit their own financial well-being against what is medically best for the patient.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Case from the 2008 Ethics Bowl National Championship.
