臺灣醫師工時標準之研究 ——兼論二則實務判決【本期企劃】 試閱
A Research of Physicians’ Working Hour’s Standards in Taiwan-Discussing Two Judicial Cases
繼護理人員排除勞動基準法第84-1條適用，與病人自主權利法制定後，醫師之執業環境改善開始備受關注。根據統計數據指出，臺灣醫師不但患寡且患不均。臺灣在實施全民健康保險法後20年，醫師過勞案例逐年遞增。而欲使醫師適用勞動基準法規範，其適用範圍、工作條件之界定等皆待共識形成。本文主要針對醫師工時之標準進行探討，並呼籲醫療機構重視此議題，因法令正確適用亦屬風險管理範圍。
After excluding nurses from using Article 84-1 of the “Labor Standards Act” and enacting the “Patient Self-determination Act”, improvement of physicians’ working conditions has been highly emphasized. According to statistics, the amount of physicians is limited and distribution is unevenly. The “National Health Insurance Act” has been implemented in Taiwan more than twenty years, the amount of cases regarding to physicians overloaded is climbing. Once physicians are regulated by the “Labor Standards Act”, consensus should be built related to defining regulation scope and working conditions. This article mainly discusses physicians’ working hour’s standards. Medical care institutions should also pay attention to this issue, because applying law and regulations correctly also belongs to the scope of risk management.
