At present medical disputes still happen sometimes though governments at all levels, health departments and hospitals pay more and more attention to correctly guide patient's behavior, regulate doctor's behavior in diagnosis and treatment, purify therapeutic environment, strengthen legislation and protect the legitimate rights and interests of doctors and patients. The causes of medical disputes are great many, and the fundamental reason is that the medical behavior from the beginning to the end is related to the life and health, naturally accompanying medical risk and hiding dispute, therefore what we ought to do is not to absolutely eliminate the risk, but to reduce the risks and disputes. In this report, to explore the causes of medical disputes and risks and look for ways to reduce them, the survey of questionnaires was carried out and practical cases of medical disputes were analyzed in hospitals. Seventy-seven cases of medical disputes from 2013 to 2015 had been completed by arbitration or court decisions, and the final arbitral ideas were as follows: invalid doctor-patient communication, low technology and insufficient management were the main causes of medical disputes; the survey of 483 questionnaires on doctors and nurses in the hospital showed that in addition to the above 3 reasons, there were other deep reasons, namely heavy working intensity, low quality of patients or their family members, and the insufficient management runs through all the links in the way. Therefore, to reduce medical disputes, the following aspects should be commenced: effective communication between doctors and patients; improving doctors' clinical diagnosis and treatment ability; optimizing medical management; correcting medical work attitude;timely medical consultation; attaching importance to medical records; doctor's order leaving some leeway or allowing for unpredictable circumstances; constructing healthy hospital culture; paying attention to the physical and mental health of medical staff; actively improving the medical dispute settlement mechanism and related legal system construction.
