Expansion Understandable
Intractable value conflict
Pure procedure
![Page 24: Thaddeus Mason Pope, J.D., Ph.D. Widener University School of Law](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062518/568147ad550346895db4ecf3/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
Sloppiness Understandable
Developed to disclaim power
No “stick” = low priority
Lack of consensus
![Page 25: Thaddeus Mason Pope, J.D., Ph.D. Widener University School of Law](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062518/568147ad550346895db4ecf3/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Deference to professional judgment
Confidence
Little risk of error

New reasons for LESS deference
Greater focus on COI
Greater focus on bias
Greater focus on provider values
Thicker catalog of HEC errors

HEC of Tomorrow
Modeled on other IDR (e.g. HCQIA)
Modeled on rationing boards
