德國醫療契約法與我國法之比較

A Comparison of German Medical Contract Law and Taiwan Law

本文之主要論述題材，以德國民法規定之醫療契約內容，與我國實務發展， 進行比較說明，期以檢討德國民法規定之特色，與可供我國法借鑑之處。 德國2013年增訂之醫療契約法，規範醫療契約當事人之義務、醫療提供者之 注意標準、醫療過失的推定責任、病人的配合協力義務、醫療提供者的資訊揭露 義務、告知後同意法則、病歷之記載義務及提供義務、及因果關係之推定等，對 於醫療事故責任所涉及之議題，提供豐富精確之法律標準，值得我國未來立法之 參考。

The main theme of this paper is to discuss the provisions of German Civil Code on medical malpractice with a comparative study of Taiwan law and court decisions. It is to illuminate the features of German law on this respect and to provide meaningful insights for the revision of Taiwan Civil Code in the future. The revision of German Civil Code in 2013 added a new contract law of medicine, stipulating the issues such as the duties of medical provider and patients, the standard of care, the presumed negligence of medical provider, cooperative duty of a patient, the duty of disclosure of medical provider, informed consent rule, the duty of providing medical records, and the presumption of causation, etc. Such provisions provide accurate concepts of medical law and insightful legal resolution to medical malpractice problems, which can make contributions to the revision of Taiwan Civil Code in the future.
