In recent years, numerous countries have been actively promoting legislative and policy measures to cultivate a friendly and supportive medical environment while safeguarding patients’rights and interests. This is aimed to mitigate medical incidents effectively and resolve disputes promptly and fairly when incidents arise. Advanced medical countries such as Germany and Japan which share the same high level of medical system as Taiwan are no exception as these countries also have to encounter challenges in managing frequent medical disputes involving patients and their families.
On May 30, 2022, Taiwan enacted the Medical Accident Prevention and Dispute Resolution Act, drawing upon legislative and practical insights from various countries. This Act bolsters internal risk management within medical institutions, establishes external notification and debugging mechanisms, and enhances the professionalism and accountability of medical staff. This paper will analyze the main contents of the Act while delving into Germany and Japan’s mediation procedures for medical disputes and incident prevention. By learning from the experiences of these two countries, this article seeks to enrich both relevant practical and academic research in Taiwan. |
