Potančok, Martin ; Voříšek, Jiří (advisor) ; Pour, Jan (referee) ; Šalamon, Tomáš (referee) ; Vejvodová, Jiřina (referee)
The dissertation thesis focuses on information systems and communication technologies and ways they are provided (sourced) in healthcare. The aim of this dissertation thesis is to design and verify a model of IS/ICT sourcing strategy for healthcare as a factor leading to the improvement of patient care, taking into account different categories of healthcare facilities and other specifics resulting from the application in medicine. The introductory section of the thesis (Section A) defines the areas of health care and identifies their specifics. Moreover, categories of healthcare facilities are defined and therapeutic, nursing and IS/ICT processes are identified. Sourcing is defined for the needs of the designed sourcing strategy model and the current trends are analysed as well as the offered outsourcing services. In the next section of the thesis (Section B), requirements on the IS/ICT sourcing strategy model are defined. Theories of sourcing strategies are analysed including assessment of the current practices of healthcare facilities. Identification of specific factors affecting sourcing in healthcare is an essential part of this section. The most important section of the thesis is a design of the IS/ICT sourcing strategy model and its verification in practice at a real healthcare facility, which is described in the final part (Section C). The designed model employs two layers to cover the whole spectrum of healthcare facilities. The base layer defines the types of objects used in developing the sourcing strategy. The specific layer takes into consideration the differences between the various categories of healthcare facilities and provides the actual implementation. Successful implementation of the model including its two layers was achieved in an independent outpatient healthcare facility.

Management of business informatics in particular sport union
Jirovský, Jan ; Bruckner, Tomáš (advisor) ; Gavlas, Libor (referee)
This thesis deals with the area of management of business informatics at the Floorball Union. It is a very specific type of organization with a mixed organization structure and decision-making processes divided between elected bodies and the employee structure of the organiza-tion, where the area of business informatics is, due to the mission and goals of the organiza-tion, rather at the periphery of the interest of the management of this sports association. It is so despite the fact that the floorball union has developed and runs its own information system FIS. Based on the knowledge and experience acquired in the theoretical part, the thesis aims at assessing the current model of management of business informatics, defining its biggest shortcomings and proposing adjustments to this model. Within the assessment of the management model, the thesis further evaluates the benefits of the implementation of the infor-mation system FIS, with the aim of evidencing the rightness of the decision to develop and implement the system, both from the point of view of non-financial benefits, as well as financial impacts and possibilities of further development and growth of the organization. The theoretical part of the thesis contains a description of the structure, goals and mission of the sports association, and attention is then devoted to the selected models, frameworks and approaches to management of business informatics and measuring its benefits. The practical part is devoted to an analysis of the current state of management of business informatics, and it includes a description of all its resources and relations, as well as a definition of its biggest shortcomings. Based on the findings, I have proposed a centralization of the management model including proposals of specific measures that will eliminate the discovered shortcom-ings to maximum extent. Compared to standards, the model of management of business in-formatics has been in some areas adjusted according to the needs, requirements and characteristics of the organization for which it is being designed. Another significant part of the practical part of the thesis contains evidence regarding the benefits of the implementation of the information system FIS. It is this part in particular, along with the creation of a new model of company information system management for the Czech Floorball Union, that I consider the most significant contribution of my diploma thesis.
