English Edition - Episode 8 : The Medical Incident Act and the Spirit of Restorative Justice

Hey—last episode wasn’t the end of the story. Handling medical disputes is a huge challenge—you can’t just walk into it without some real skills. Taiwan’s Act for the Prevention and Resolution of Medical Incidents was written with one big hope: that when medical harm occurs, the healthcare provider will step forward first—to show care, to explain, and to work with the patient and family toward restoring both damages and the doctor–patient relationship. Sound familiar? That’s right—it carries a spirit very close to restorative justice. Now, restorative justice might ring a bell for judicial or child protection social workers, but for us medical social workers, it still feels a little unfamiliar. So what’s the real connection between restorative justice and the Medical Incident Act? When medical harm or disputes arise, the key is honesty and facing the issue directly. But here’s the tricky part—how do you express apology with sincerity and skill, without making it sound like a confession of guilt? That’s where the art comes in. In this episode, let’s take our time to unpack what restorative justice really means in the medical field, and how it shapes our practice as medical social workers.
