Medical damage liability is directly related to the diagnosis and treatment behavior of medical institutions. It is the most basic form of liability because patients enter the doctor-patient relationship with the expectation that they will receive highly professional medical services from the medical institution. This paper outlines the features of the development of China's medical damage liability system, points out the problems of the system in practice, and proposes improvements. It explores how to solve the legal dilemma of identifying medical liability in China from three perspectives: perfecting the formation and adoption procedures of expert opinions, standardizing the identification of fault by medical institutions, and standardizing the application of the rules of reducing liability for the cause.
医疗损害责任直接关系到医疗机构的诊疗行为,是责任最为基础的形态,因为患者基于对医疗机构能够提供高度专业化的医疗服务的期待而进入医患关系。本文概述了中国医疗损害责任制度的发展特点,指出了该制度在实践中存在的问题,并提出了改进措施。从完善专家意见的形成和采纳程序、规范医疗机构过错认定、规范因果关系减轻责任规则的适用三个方面探讨了如何解决中国医疗责任认定的法律困境。
