Nanjing will pilot medical accident insurance in medical institutions to further improve the medical risk sharing mechanism in order to prevent and reduce the damage caused by medical accidents to both doctors and patients.
Medical accident insurance is to provide protection and a compensation mechanism for patients who encounter some risks caused by non-human errors in the medical process. Such a medical risk sharing mechanism will more effectively protect the legitimate rights and interests of both doctors and patients.
Nanjing will pilot the implementation of medical accident insurance in Drum Tower Hospital, Nanjing First Hospital, Nanjing Children's Hospital and the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University.
The launching ceremony also released the "2021 Blue Book on Risk Management of Medical Disputes in Nanjing". The "Blue Book" collects and organizes the materials of some medical dispute cases in Nanjing last year by summarizing them from multiple dimensions such as the department where the dispute occurred, time, damage consequences, fault classification, and responsibility, and puts forward suggestions for medical safety risk prevention.
