The issue of preventive medical examinations in the population over 45 years old
ZÁRUBOVÁ, Michaela
The topic of my bachelor thesis is ´The Issue of Preventive Medical Examinations in Population over 45 years of age.´ The thesis is divided into two parts, a theoretical and a practical part. The theoretical part deals with the meaning and content of medical examinations at a practitioner´s and a dentist´s for adults, and at a gynaecologist´s for adult women in more detail. The practical part describes the determined hypotheses and the aim of the thesis, which was to find out the extent of awareness about preventive medical examination (further on referred to as PME) within healthcare in a chosen sample of Czech population aged 45 and more. The thesis methodology clarifies the evaluation of data gathered via my own research. For the purposes of my own research I have chosen the methodology of quantitative analysis, i.e. non-standardized questionnare (Appendix No.1). Using this questionnare, I was able to evaluate the determined hypotheses and find out whether respondents over 45 years of age are aware of the issue of preventive medical examinations. The research sample was made of 156 respondents, predominantly by women, 107, and the rest 49 were men. The pleasant finding is that most respondents attend their preventive medical examinations for adults regularly, i.e. 106 respondents out of the research sample, out of 156. 39 out of the remaining 50 respondents who do not attend regularly, have stated the absence of health complications as their reason. A less positive result of the research is that only 35 respondents out of 156 are invited to attend a preventive medical examination for adults by their practitioner. The rest of 121 are not, however, 98 of them would be interested in being invited. I have found out that the knowledge of PME for adults time range at a practitioner´s does not differ in terms of age, according to my research not even education plays a role, there are no differences even in ways of PME invitation preference given by age.

Progress of the system of public health insurance and health insurance companies in the Czech Republic for the period 2000 - 2015
Pecková, Tereza ; Lukášová, Tereza (advisor) ; Bartůsková, Lucia (referee)
This bachelor´s thesis analyzes the basic funds of health insurance companies for the period 2000 - 2015 in the Czech Republic, especially the creation of resources and their use and the entire system of public health insurance in the Czech Republic. Basic funds are one of the components of the overall economy of health insurance companies. First it is necessary to describe the market of the insured. The insured create and use the finances within public health insurance. Also important are contributions from the state budget for those insured by the state. We can conclude that the cost of health insurance companies are rising and that population is aging in the Czech Republic. However, this is not a balanced linear growth. The number of pensioners grew at a slower rate of growth, but according to population development forecast, there should be faster growth in the number of pensioners in the following years. Significant growth in cost is particularly noticeable in the age category of 80 and above, and increasingly more people should live up to this blessed age, also thanks to modern public health.

Institutional framework of health insurance in the Czech Republic (case study: VZP and OZP performance)
Rypáčková, Lucie ; Chytil, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Svoboda, Miroslav (referee)
This paper examines the impact of an institutional framework on the performance of Všeobecná zdravotní pojišťovna (VZP) and Oborová zdravotní pojišťovna zaměstnanců bank, pojišťoven a stavebnictví (OZP). The differences in the institutional status of VZP and OZP are the result of the dual legislation of health insurance companies in the Czech Republic. It was found that institutional status of VZP is more like a state-owned institution in comparison with OZP. Theories dealing with the differences between state and private ownership assume lower efficiency of state-owned companies than private companies. In accordance with the theoretical assumptions is given the hypothesis that the institutional framework of VZP reinforces a tendency to inefficiency. The hypothesis is verified using data from the annual reports of VZP a OZP and using selected indicators (for example: operating costs, labor productivity). It has been proven that the institutional framework of VZP reinforces the tendency for wasteful spending of resources.

Perception of health insurance companies in the South Bohemian Region
HYKOVÁ, Michaela
In my thesis, I deal with the issue of perception of health insurance companies in the South Bohemian Region. That is, how South Bohemian citizens perceive health insurance companies and whether they are satisfied with the services that health insurance companies provide. In the theoretical part, I present basic information about public health insurance system in the Czech Republic. I mention the history of health insurance evolution, its systems, and principles of its operation. I also deal with legislature which is the cornerstone of this system. Most of the laws were passed in the 1990?s when the Czech Republic began to develop the current version of health insurance. Since its inception, these laws have been amended several times. Public health insurance system in our country is based on the Bismarck model, which is based on the existence of multiple health insurance companies and contractual relationships between health insurance companies and health care facilities. Furthermore, the theoretical part refers about health insurance companies as such, whose activities are governed by Act No. 551/1991 Coll., on the General Health Insurance Company, and Act No. 280/1992 Coll., on departmental, professional, occupational and other health insurance companies. The practical part describes the results of my research focused on the aforementioned issue of perception of health insurance companies in the South Bohemian Region. The results have been obtained through quantitative analysis. The method of questioning, the technique of questionnaires, was used. In this research, two of three assumed hypotheses have been confirmed. The research shows that health insurance clients in the South Bohemian Region are satisfied with local and time availability of their health insurance company subsidiaries. Furthermore, the research carried out shows that citizens respect the opinion of their general practitioners on the selection of their health insurance company. In contrast, what good (preventive) programs health insurance companies offer is not crucial for citizens when selecting a health insurance company. The knowledge gained can form the basis for further research, but it can also serve to health insurance companies themselves to improve their services. The issue of health care and health insurance companies is still a topic of current concern, both in the political field and for the general public.

The bachelors theses deals with settings of the health care financing. It explains reasons for government interventions to the health care market, describes possible models of health care system, defines economical subjects of health care market and analyses possibilities how to regulate their economical behavior. The healt care system is affected mainly by interests groups, who push their particular aims at the expense of others. By asserting their interests they affect other subjects of health care market as well as the entire health care system. It is impossilbe to choose the exactly correct settins of health care system. Settins of each individual regulatory mechanism has no optional value, it have to match locally and temporally given specific economical and social conditions. The selection of concrete parametres of regulation is always determinated by application of public choice.
