There are good reasons for TADA being crafted just the way that it is. Nevertheless, it does present a risk that some Texas ethics committees will not deal with the conflict as framed (e.g. as a sword fight, as a communication breakdown). Rather they may succumb to the temptation to just pull out the trump card (e.g. a pistol, a 166.046 process) that the state legislature has given them.

I believe the process is flawed, in that the hospital's internal ethics committee is given the power to make decisions (as I understand it).
If there is to be a formal resolution process, then I feel that any committee should not have an economic interest in the outcome (i.e., not be based in the hospital that is losing money on the care). A statewide ethics committee would be a much better solution.
