Over the past decade, the changes of Taiwan medical environment have led to the shortage of medical staff. Therefore, the authorities tend to train experienced nurses with additional nursing and medical profession in order to perform certain medical care services. Such solution, which is based on the American nurse practitioner (NP) system, may help alleviate the current shortage of medical staff; consequently the authority promoted the nurse specialist system. For the purpose continuity and integrated medical cares within the system of physicians and nurse specialists, Taiwan established “nurse practitioner” and amended the Nursing Personnel Act in 2000. However, the lack of clinical nurse specialist (CNS) experience made nurse practitioner can only perform medical assistance and low risk medical procedures under the supervision. Thus, the Authorities revised the Nursing Personnel Act in 2015 and allowed nurse practitioner to practice normal medical procedures under supervision of physicians. After several amendments, the system development of nurse practitioner has been improved, but it still can be better. In order to enhance the quality of the legal system, this paper describes the development of nurse practitioner and analyzes the current defects. This paper also provides some suggestions to contribute the development of legal system. |
