醫療法第82條修正對病患權益之影響:從醫療機構責任談起【特別企劃】 試閱
The Influences of Medical Care Act Article 82 Amendment on Patients' Rights: On the Perspectives of Medical Institution's Civil Liability
醫療法第82條之修法對醫事人員、醫療機構與病患均可能造成深遠影響,甚至可能改變醫療產業環境;但部分條文內涵與意義不夠明確、配套措施不夠完整,卻可能使原來立法所希望達成之醫療責任明確化、合理化之目的反而無法落實。本文以醫療法第82條第5項有關醫療機構之責任為主軸,從醫療機構自己責任、責任歸屬、故意過失判斷、醫療業務爭議等面相切入,分析此次修法對病患權益所可能造成之影響,與後續所可能面臨之法律挑戰。
The Amendment of Medical Care Act Article 82 no doubt would influence medical professionals, medical institutions, and patients. It might also cause significant changes in the medical industrial environment. However, ambiguous language, unclear legal conceptions, and contradictory frameworks of the Amendment might hinder the Act’s purposes. Citing Article 82(V) of the Amendment as an example, this paper analyzed the influences of the Amendment of Medical Act on medical institution’s legal responsibilities and patients’ rights from the perspectives of organizational liability, civil liability, intentional and negligent conduct, and affairs for medical practice.
