台灣已邁入超高齡社會,65歲以上長者中超過8成至少罹患1種慢性病,多重用藥與跨院就醫隨之帶來潛在風險。
國泰醫院舉辦病人安全週活動,今年主題為「醫病攜手.安全共守」。
看不同科、到不同醫院拿藥,若再自行加吃止痛藥或保健食品,可能增加用藥風險。72歲林阿公患有糖尿病、慢性腎臟病及高血壓,習慣在不同醫院看診拿藥,不僅常搞混服藥時間,日前又因關節痛自行服用市售止痛藥,未留意藥物交互作用及增加腎臟負擔的可能性,幸經個管師發現,及時避免急性腎功能惡化。
國泰綜合醫院院長簡志誠表示,病人安全除了仰賴醫療人員落實各項流程,也需要病人與家屬共同參與。就醫時多問一句、多確認一次,有助釐清治療內容,增加了解與安心,尤其同時患有多種慢性病、使用多種藥物的病人,更應主動提出疑問,讓醫療團隊掌握完整資訊。
林阿公每次回診,總得提著好幾個不同院所的藥袋,面對多種藥物與不同服藥時間,經常混淆。此次因關節痛自行加用止痛藥,也凸顯跨院就醫時,若未讓醫療團隊了解目前使用的全部藥物,可能難以及時辨識潛在風險。
台灣已邁入超高齡社會,國健署調查發現,65歲以上長者中,超過8成自述曾經醫師診斷罹患至少1種慢性病,同時患有3種以上慢性病者也不在少數。慢性病照護往往涉及多種用藥、飲食調整,以及不同科別的追蹤安排,資訊愈複雜,醫病溝通就愈重要。
響應今(2026)年病人安全週「醫病攜手.安全共守」主題,國泰綜合醫院舉辦系列活動,在院內大廳透過互動遊戲,邀請民眾從日常就醫經驗了解參與醫療安全的重要性,吸引近百位民眾及院內同仁參與。
活動也走進糖尿病、慢性腎臟病、失智症、慢性阻塞性肺病及氣喘等相關門診與衛教場域,透過簡單提問,了解病人參與醫病共享決策(Shared Decision Making,SDM)的經驗,鼓勵病人在面對治療選擇時,表達疑問與想法,與醫療團隊共同討論適合的照護方式。
除了院內宣導,國泰醫院也前往社區,結合三高篩檢,協助民眾了解血壓、血糖與血脂狀況,並透過生活化情境提醒用藥安全。正在服用抗凝血藥物的民眾,不應自行搭配銀杏、人參或其他保健食品,應主動告知醫師或藥師目前使用的藥物及保健品,有疑問直接詢問藥師,降低交互作用及相關風險。
簡志誠強調,希望病人安全不只是活動口號,而能落實在每一次就醫與健康照護過程,透過病人、家屬與醫療團隊共同參與,讓醫病多一點溝通,就醫多一分安心。
