Abstract

Sweden in 1975 introduced a patient insurance system to compensate patients for injuries caused by medical malpractice. In the beginning the system was based on a voluntary patient insurance solution, but in 1997 it was replaced by a mandatory scheme with the introduction of the Swedish Patient Injury Act. This Act covers both physical and mental injuries. In Sweden about 9.000-10.000 cases are processed annually; however, in barely half of these cases compensation is paid. The Patient Claims Panel is the authority to which claims are made, and thus the important role of ensuring that the Act is applied in a fair and dependable way belongs to it.

Özet

İsveç 1975'te, hastaların tıbbi kötü uygulamaların sebep olduğu zararlarını tazmin etmek üzere bir hasta sigorta sistemini başlatmıştır. Başlangıçta sistem gönüllü bir hasta sigortası çözümüne dayanmaktaydı. Ancak 1997'de İsveç Hasta Zararları Kanunu'nun getirilmesi ile bu, yerini zorunlu bir şemaya bırakmıştır. Bu Kanun hem fiziksel hem de zihinsel zararları kapsamaktadır. İsveç'te yılda yaklaşık 9.000-10.000 vaka gerçekleşmekte; ancak, bu davaların neredeyse yarısında tazminat ödenmemektedir. Hasta Hak Talepleri Paneli, taleplerin yapıldığı makamdır ve bu nedenle, Kanun'un adil ve güvenilir bir şekilde uygulanmasını sağlamanın önemli rolü kendisine düşmektedir.
