醫療法第82條修法對急診醫療訴訟影響之實證分析：從責任限縮到醫病風險分配【本期企劃】 試閱
An Empirical Analysis of the Impact of the Amendment to Article 82 of the Medical Care Act on Emergency Medical Litigation
本研究探討2018年醫療法第82條修法後，是否有達成當初修法目的。透過司法院裁判書系統進行實證分析，探討急診醫療訴訟趨勢的變化，結果顯示修法後在限縮醫師過失責任上具明顯成效。然而因為急重症病情嚴重度高，訴訟壓力仍相對其他科別為高，顯示法律制度雖能減少訴訟風險，卻難以完全回應醫病雙方的情緒與信任問題，為達成醫病共好，未來仍需搭配訴訟前紛爭解決，也需更長期的觀察與分析。
This study investigates whether the 2018 amendment to Article 82 of Taiwan’s Medical Care Act has achieved its intended goals. The research explores shifts in litigation trends related to emergency medical care by conducting an empirical analysis using the Judicial Yuan’s court decision database. The findings indicate that the amendment has effectively limited physicians’ liability for negligence. However, litigation pressure remains high compared to other specialties due to the inherently high severity of emergency cases. This suggests that legal framework may reduce litigation risk, bu we still need other mechanisms such as integration of pre-litigation dispute resolution mechanisms to lessen the tension between healthcare providers and patients.
