| [ Summary ] | The Clinical Engineer Law establishes duties for clinical engineers. Every clinical engineer must carry out their duties as established by the Clinical Engineer Law and associated laws. In hospitals, there are many doctors and other medical workers, so clinical engineers must accomplish their duties while cooperating with them. The clinical Engineer Law could produce the use of the term "Team Medicine" for the first time in medical law, therefore it is important for clinical engineers to cooperate with all medical workers on their jobs. As a result, clinical engineers must accomplish their duties with the knowledge of medicaly related laws. We describe our personal opinions on the points that we think should be corrected concerning clinical engineering-related law and the duties indicated for the future. |
