醫療機構感染管制的法律責任【本期企劃】 試閱
Legal Liability of Medical Institutions on Infection Control
醫院是匯聚各種類型病人的場所，也因此增加了傳染性疾病散佈的風險，醫療機構負有善盡感染管制的責任，然而一旦發生感染管制的漏洞而造成群聚院內感染，使病人或醫療人員遭受傷害時，醫療機構應負有後續之民刑事法律責任，以及應思考如何進一步進行法律風險的管理防範以避免後續法律責任。醫療機構必須隨時依據缺失修正、更新標準作業流程與因應計畫，不僅須與醫療機構實況相結合，醫療機構之應變機動性與協調力亦須適時改善。
The hospital is a place where various types of patients are gathered, which also increases the risk of spreading infectious diseases. Medical institutions have the responsibility performing measures on adequate infection control. However, once there is loophole in infection control which causes nosocomial cluster infection and causes injury to patients or medical staffs, the medical institution should bear following criminal and civil legal liability, and should consider how to further manage and prevent legal risks to avoid following legal liability. Medical institutions must revise and update standard operating procedures and response plans at any time in accordance with the deficiencies of current infection control measures. Not only must the plans be integrated with the actual conditions of the medical institutions, but their flexibility and coordination must also be improved in due course.
