美国精神病患者院外辅助医疗立法简介

A BRIEF INTRODUCTION OF THE LEGAL SYSTEM OF PSYCHIATRIC PATIENTS' TREATMENT OUTSIDE THE HOSPITAL IN AMERICA

不可否认,目前我国有众多精神病患者因各种原因,不得不留于家中或社区接受治疗。而精神病患者在院外能否接受到有效的治疗,不仅意味着患者能否顺利康复,更关系着他人的安全及社会的稳定。由于我国对精神病患者院外医疗行为缺少法律规范,部分院外重症患者"时治时不治"的状态,极易对自己及其周边人的安全构成危险。因此,为使患者自己或他人免受不必要的伤害,我国应借鉴美国在该方面的立法经验,对部分院外重症患者的治疗活动予以法律规范。必要时应对其采取强制性救治措施,从而减少精神病患者违法肇事事件的发生。

Undeniably,many mental patients in our country had to stay at home or in community for treatment due to various reasons.However whether madman psych opath can receive effective treatment outside hospital concerns not only the pat ient＇s recovery,but also others＇ safety and social stability.Because our cou n try is lack of the law of medical treatment outside the hospital for psychopathi c patient,and the treatment of some psychopathic patient stuttered continuously,which is dangerous to the outside people.Therefore,in order to prevent patie nts or others from unnecessary harm,our country should learn from the America l egislative experience and standard the treatment activities of outside patients.It is necessary some compulsory treatment measures should be taken to reduce me ntal patient＇s illegal incident.
