About this statute

意願人指定醫療委任代理人時,對象須為成年且具行為能力的人,並經書面同意;部分人不得擔任代理人,代理人處理委任事務時要向醫療機構或醫師出示身分證明。 醫療委任代理人可以隨時用書面終止委任;在特定情況下也會當然解任。 中央主管機關要把預立醫療決定註記在全民健康保險憑證上;在註記前,醫療機構要先把意願人的預立醫療決定掃描存入中央主管機關資料庫。 意願人如果撤回或變更預立醫療決定,或指定、終止委任、變更醫療委任代理人,應向中央主管機關申請更新註記。 符合特定臨床條件且已有預立醫療決定時,醫療機構或醫師可以依該決定停止、撤除或不施行維持生命治療或人工營養及流體餵養;無法執行時應告知病人或關係人。
