Features: Establishing a reasonable and fair healthcare service mechanism. On the surface, it may appear to restrict and weaken the medical side, but in reality, a fair, transparent, and open healthcare service mechanism also contributes to the medical side. In general, the general public tends to trust medical experts or authoritative systems, and "trust" becomes the primary, if not the only, basis for their choice of services. The formation of this trust is partly the result of the continuous effort by service providers to establish an authoritative image and partly the result of the collective achievement by service recipients. If viewed solely from the perspective of service recipients, trust can be understood as the general goodness of the public, or as a sense of helplessness for ordinary people who must make a choice without other rational standards. Therefore, if service recipients rely solely on trust as their only choice criterion, it can be quite dangerous for service providers. Because a single mistake or accident by the authoritative system can bring catastrophic damage and destruction to trust. Ordinary people do not know whether such accidents are due to a single mistake by the authoritative system or inherent flaws within the system. Thus, trust is both a glorious and noble psychological image and a fragile "domino effect" that is easily toppled. Therefore, establishing a non-authoritarian, open, and fair service mechanism is necessary for both service providers and recipients. Due to the increasing complexity of social relationships, solving any problem requires the joint argumentation and mutual assistance of multiple disciplines. Similarly, establishing a fair and reasonable mechanism requires the participation of multiple disciplines. In the establishment of an equal mechanism in doctor-patient relationships, there is involvement from medical, legal, ethical, and even moral knowledge. With the planning and active support of the publishing house's editors, this book has finally been completed. As it approaches publication, we often reflect on the extent to which a book can truly make a difference? Although we have strived to make the content of this book detailed and accurate, conveying reliable and practical knowledge in this field to readers, having knowledge alone is far from enough. Knowledge must truly become a force by inspiring a transformation in ideas. Bacon's "Knowledge is power" became a truth because its premise was the ideological transformation during the "Reformation" and the critique of the "divine image" (traditional religious concepts), after which people established a new concept of human self-independence and a strong desire to pursue their own happiness. Similarly, only when doctors and patients truly realize their own subjective status and rights in medical practice can this book become genuine knowledge and a real force that drives the development of the healthcare industry and promotes life and health.
