Abstract

Responsibility without the guilt of the medical workers, i.e., no fault system presents the form for the patient insurance which has been successfully used in the Scandinavian countries during the last several decades. In cases of the health damages caused by medical treatment, patients have the right for indemnification, with no regard to the guilt of the person who committed the treatment. The system of responsibility without the guilt does not demand the establishing the responsibility of the medical worker, but is relying to establishing the consequences between the medical procedure and the damaging event. No fault system enables the indemnification for health damage which can be named undesirable events or accidents in medicine. No fault model provides for the cooperation between the patients and medical workers, keeping of the records of the wrong medical procedures, presents a system which is more financially sustainable, avoids the court proceedings, and is also more efficient and faster route for protection of the patients who suffered damages than with the systems which consider responsibility based on guilt. Considering that the no fault system is being broadly studied in the global scientific and expert community is showing to the probable direction and its glorious future in the future regulation of the system for health protection in the world and in our country.
