The Medical Incident Prevention and Dispute Resolution Act (hereinafter referred to as the “MIPDRA”) was passed by the Legislative Yuan on May 30, 2022, promulgated by the Presidential Office on June 22, 2022, and officially implemented on January 1, 2024.
The main legislative intent and purpose of this Act are to address long-standing issues arising from medical dispute litigation, such as the adversarial relationship between doctors and patients, the outflow of professionals from high-risk medical specialties, and the rise of defensive medicine.
The Act is founded on three core principles: “timely care,” “mediation first,” and “incident prevention.” It aims to protect patients' rights, promote harmonious doctor–patient relationships, and enhance medical quality.
The mediation procedures stipulated in the Act involve not only medical and legal expertise but also the mediator's ability to empathize with both parties.
This lecture will introduce key considerations when entering mediation in emotionally charged medical disputes:
What should practitioners pay attention to during the mediation process?
How can disputes be resolved peacefully and amicably?
How does the mediation mechanism under the MIPDRA differ from mediation or settlement in civil and criminal proceedings?
What is the legal effect of such mediation?
These questions will be concisely explained and discussed in the course to help participants better understand the MIPDRA's practical operation and its role in fostering constructive dispute resolution.
