無障礙環境之優劣代表社會對行動不便者的關懷程度，是社會文明的一項重要指標，也是幸福高齡社會的基礎。醫院提供公共服務且使用者多為病患或高齡長者，為優先考慮無障礙環境之指標性建築，但因建築物無障礙相關法令所規範之範圍僅為建築物硬體，建築完成後再建置之相關設施設備或因後續規劃設計者未盡了解或未重視，往往未能妥當設置，而影響使用之便利性。本文概述無障礙設施相關規範的內涵、緣起外，特別探討當前醫院建築中常見之問題，並提出較佳之改善及設置建議，期藉由大家一起努力，讓行動不便者及高齡者有更安全便利的就醫環境，也讓我們更有信心面對未來超高齡社會的挑戰。

The quality of the barrier-free environment represents the degree of society’s care for people with mobility impairments. It is an important indicator of social civilization and the foundation of a happy aging society. The hospital provides public services and is mostly used by patients or the elderly. It is a landmark building that prioritizes barrier-free environment. However, since the scope of the building accessibility-related laws and regulations is only the building hardware, construction will be completed after the construction is completed. Relevant facilities and equipment are often not properly installed because subsequent planners and designers do not fully understand or pay attention to them, thus affecting the convenience of use. This article outlines the connotation and origin of regulations related to barrier-free facilities, especially discusses common problems in current hospital buildings, and puts forward better suggestions for improvement and installation. It is hoped that through everyone’s joint efforts, people with mobility impairments and the elderly will have safer and more convenient experiences. The medical environment also gives us more confidence to face the challenges of a super-aged society in the future.
