AbstractGuidelines that are standards of care could limit the creative initiatives to find ways of caring for patients which do not conform to traditional medical practice but result in good outcomes. Physicians would likely feel hemmed in by guidelines that constitute an express legal standard of care and would be afraid to deviate from them except under the auspices of carefully controlled research protocols.
