完善我国医疗损害鉴定制度的思考

Reflections on Improving the Medical Appraisal System in China

医疗鉴定意见在医疗纠纷案件的定性和裁判中具有十分重要的地位。我国现行的医疗鉴定制度由医学会组织的医疗事故技术鉴定和司法鉴定机构组织的医疗过错司法鉴定两者并存,形成了医疗鉴定制度"二元化"的现象。《中华人民共和国侵权责任法》的施行虽然消除了医疗损害赔偿案件适用法律的"二元化"问题,但医疗鉴定制度的"二元化"现象并没有被打破。探讨建立"一元化"的医疗鉴定制度,并引入专家辅助人制度对"一元化"医疗鉴定制度进行监督和辅助,希望在寻求司法公正与效率的基础上建立更加科学、完善、合理的医疗鉴定体制。

The medical appraisal opinion is of importance in determining and judging medical dispute litigations. However, the current medical appraisal system in China is a dual one, consisting of appraisal of medical accident by medical associations and appraisal of medical malpractice by forensic appraisal institutions. Though the implementation of The Tort Law of the Peo- ple＇s Republic of China on July 1st, 2010 eliminates the duality in the application of law regarding medical dispute litiga- tions, the appraisal system has not been unified yet. The paper proposes to set up a unified appraisal system and bring in the expert assistant system to assist and supervise the unified appraisal system. The author hopes that the new system could be more fair and efficient to solve medical disputes in building a more harmonious doctor-patient relationship in the society.
