Precautions are the responsibility of the hospital, not the patient or
family. Below is a list of measures that local hospitals take to prevent and
minimize medical accidents and their impact.
(1) Increasing training for medical workers and doctors on laws and moral
standards (2) Establishing service quality supervising centers in hospitals
staffed by reliable and qualified personnel (3) Improving the ability to
respond to medical accidents by anticipating possible scenarios and establishing
procedures to follow (4) Improving management of patients' case
histories (5) Improving communications between doctors and patients and their
families. Doctors should keep private information strictly confidential, and if
a procedure involves any risk the patient and his family should be warned
candidly beforehand. (6) The hospital is responsible for collecting tangible
evidence from the accident scene. After the accident, the hospital must report
the case to the related administrators promptly and handle the case in
accordance with the rules for dealing with medical accidents. The doctors or
medical workers responsible are penalized based on the seriousness of the
accident.
