html On December 1, the "Doctor Law of the People's Republic of China" (hereinafter referred to as the "Doctor Law") was officially implemented. Compared with the original Practicing Physician Law, what are the highlights of this legal document that is of great significance to the medical industry? What impact will it have on the medical industry in our province?Extra instruction manual medication formally legislated
"The new version of the "Doctor Law" was included in the "ultra instruction manual medication for the first time, which is a kind of protection for physicians' clinical medication." On March 7, Fang Fengqin, deputy director of the Department of Pharmacy of Henan Provincial People's Hospital, told reporters.
Fang Fengqin introduced that before the new version of the "Doctor Law" was issued, medical disputes related to medications that were used beyond the instructions were often lost because of the lack of relevant laws and regulations.
"Medical development is changing with each passing day, but the update of drug instructions has a lag and cannot be completely compatible with the actual clinical needs of drug use. Therefore, the use of drug exceeding the manual is common, and it is reasonable and urgent to include drug use in legislation." Fang Fengqin said that especially for some rare diseases and pediatric patients, in the absence of effective or better treatment methods, the use of drug exceeding the manual is more common in clinical practice, which brings a glimmer of hope to the treatment of patients and also reflects the awe of life.
The "Doctor Law" clearly states that doctors must obtain informed consent of the patient when taking medication beyond the instructions and must have evidence-based medical evidence, which is a protection for doctors.
Incorporating the prevention and control of new coronavirus pneumonia into the law
In Articles 32, 33 and 45 of the Doctor Law, it is clearly stated that the prevention and control of new coronavirus pneumonia into the law, and proposes that medical institutions establish and implement hospital infection prevention and control management systems, and grassroots medical institutions must be equipped with a certain number of public health physicians. Doctors shall obey the dispatch when public health incidents occur.
The "Doctor Law" clearly stipulates institutional arrangements for responding to public health incidents such as the new crown pneumonia epidemic, further make up for shortcomings and strengthen weaknesses, and provides solid legal guarantees for improving the emergency response capabilities of major epidemics of the medical team, and strives to promote the prevention and resolution of major public health risks.
Better promote the inheritance and innovation of traditional Chinese medicine
Chief physician of the Acupuncture Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine Wang Qingbo said that the "Doctor Law" clearly defines the examination qualifications of traditional Chinese medicine physicians and the individual practice standards of traditional Chinese medicine, and also makes specific provisions on the education or the expertise of medical skills after years of practice, which can provide legal guarantees for the advantages of cultivating traditional Chinese medicine talents and better inherit the essence of traditional Chinese medicine.
"Integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine has played a significant advantage in the treatment of new coronary pneumonia. In clinical practice, the combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine and the use of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine is a common diagnosis and treatment method." Wang Qingbo said that the "Doctor's Law" clearly stipulates the assessment of Western medicine and Western medicine and increases the scope of practice, which will be conducive to the innovative development of traditional Chinese medicine.
