Which institutions may take charge of the treatment of a worker injured at work, and what must each of them show to count?
General information · Not legal advice
Material to check
In a practice file of this kind, we read the Corporation's designation notice naming the institution, the facility's licence under the Medical Service Act or its status as a health centre, and the staffing, equipment and facility records, because each bears on one of the categories the provision lists.
These are types of material to look for, not evidence already verified by PRO SE.
Where readings differ
One reading takes the list as closed: an institution counts only if it is a medical institution maintained by the Corporation as the referenced provision provides, a tertiary general hospital under the Medical Service Act, or a medical institution or health centre that both meets the manpower and facility standards set by Ministerial ordinance and has been designated by the Corporation.
Another reading stresses the conditions inside the last category, since meeting the standards alone achieves nothing: the Corporation must also have designated the institution, and those standards are set by Ministerial ordinance rather than by this provision, so the file has to show both the standards and the designation.
Your judgment
When care was given at a facility that later fell below the standards or lost its designation, how should the file show which category it belonged to at the time?
PRO SE does not make this decision or keep a case record on this public site.When to reconsider
We look at this again if the provision is amended to add or remove a category of institution, or if the Ministerial ordinance setting the manpower and facility standards changes which institutions can qualify.
