急診暴力法律觀

Legal Viewpoints on Violence in the Emergency Department

醫療暴力事件有增加的趨勢。本文試圖從法律面，解釋當前我國在法律上對於醫療暴力事件的預防及處理現況。由於立法技術問題，其保護仍有不周，因此猶待所有醫療院所及其全體員工，於平時重視此事，落實各種防治手段，隨時注意高危險群及爆發前兆；於事件發生時，所有相關人員應冷靜面對，並及時通報醫療主管機關和檢察機關。醫院也應提供關懷小組、法務協助等必要資源，以使所有員工免於傷害。 Medical violence is on an upward trend. The aim of this article is to investigate the role of Taiwan's national legislature under the Medical Act with regard to preventing and managing violence. Because legal protection is limited, we recommend that all healthcare institutes and their staffs continually pay attention to the strategies of violence prevention and keep an eye on high-risk groups and the appearance of pre-event aura. When a violence event occurs, involved persons should resolutely activate the rapid response team and report the event to the healthcare and prosecuting authorities immediately. Furthermore, institutes should provide all necessary resources such as psychological support and legal assistance in order to minimize harm to staffs.
