Chrestomathy of Medical Law

Monografija je posvečena izbranim vprašanjem medicinskega prava, ki se navezujejo z večih vidikov na pacientove pravice, dolžnosti in odgovornosti. Pacient namreč danes ni več pasivni akter, temveč se je spremenil v aktivnega akterja, ko se sprejemajo odločitve glede njegove zdravja in celo življenja. Ker pa sta pravo in medicina zelo dinamični področji, je bilo razumevanje pacientovih pravic v zadnjih letih deležno naglega razvoja in s tem povezanimi spremembami zakonodaje v Sloveniji in na Hrvaškem, kakor tudi na EU in mednarodni ravni. Obogatila se je tudi sodna praksa, ki ima prav tako ključen pomen na področju razvijanja in sodobnega pristopanja k problematika razumevanja pacientovih pravic, Monografija podaja širok pristop k obravnavi sedanjih pravnih vprašanj tega področja (npr. varstvo podatkov, pravica do zasebnosti, kazenska odgovornost, soodgovornost pacienta ....), kakor tudi vprašanj, ki jih medicina, pravo in nenazadnje (bio)etika odpirata glede pacientovih pravic, dolžnosti in odgovornosti na eni strani, kakor tudi glede pristojnosti, kompetenc in odgovornosti zdravstvenih delavcev, zdravstvenih organizacij in zdravstvenih sistemov na drugi strani.The publication focuses on selected issues of medical law that relate in many ways to the patient\u27s rights, duties and responsibilities. The patient is no longer a passive actor, but has turned into an active actor when decisions are made about his/her health and even his/her life. However, as law and medicine are very dynamic fields, understanding of patients\u27 rights in recent years has undergone rapid development and related legislative changes in Slovenia and Croatia, as well as at EU and international level. The case law has also been enriched, which has also a crucial influence on the development and on the contemporary approach to the understanding of patients\u27 rights. The publication offers a broad approch to handling of current legal questions related to medical law (eg. GDPR, right to privacy, criminal liability, ....), as well as the issues raised by medicine, law and, last but not least, (bio)ethics regarding patients\u27 rights, duties and responsibilities on the one hand, as well as the competencies and responsibilities of healthcare professionals, healthcare organizations and health systems on the other hand
