Cieslar, Jakub ; Cahlík, Tomáš (advisor) ; Votápková, Jana (referee)
Finance flowing to health care forms a significant part of total expenses in developed countries. This fact is closely related to efficiency of allocating health care resources. This thesis aims to estimate and compare efficiency of Czech health care system as well as 132 member states of World Health Organization in 2012, their development since the year 2000 and comparison and description of other papers focused on related topics. To acquire relative efficiency estimates (efficiency with respect to the sample), output oriented Data Envelopment Analysis specified with variable returns to scale is used. Obtained results can help with choosing role-model systems and to reduce ineffectiveness. Results also suggest which systems succeeded in improvement of the efficiency in allocating of resources.

UNDERSTANDING AND DOCTORS` APPROACHES TOWARDS THE CURRENT HEALTH SERVICE REFORM
TVRDÁ, Lenka
Health care concerns everybody. Man{\crq}s right to health care is one of the fundamental human rights. There is no ideal health care system as yet, and states reform their health care systems and the ways of their funding. The reform of the health care system has been conducted in this country for a long time. No minister, however, has introduced more substantial changes and interferences in the present system than the Health Minister MUDr. Tomáš Julínek. This reform is known to citizens especially because of the introduction of fees for health treatment. However, the reform reaches farther. Further steps of the reform propose changes in the public health insurance, providing health care and in education, science and research. The transformation of the health care system of the Czech Republic has not completely resolved and finished a number of matters. Finishing these matters is braked by disputes in the political representation. This thesis is focused on finding out the understanding and attitudes of physicians towards the present reform of the health care system. To collect data, I used the questionnaire method. Its data were collected between January and March 2009. The return rate of questionnaires reached 84 per cent. The set of respondents consisted of physicians from the Vysočina Region in the districts of Havlíčkův Brod and Jihlava. The objective of my thesis was to find out the attitudes of physicians towards the present reform of the health care system. The objective of my thesis was fulfilled. I verified the following hypotheses by my research: Hypothesis 1: Opinions of self-employed physicians are different from those in employment relationship. Hypothesis 2: Differences in physicians{\crq} opinions are also dependent on their specialisations. Both hypotheses were confirmed in most aspects. I suppose that my research has brought new information concerning the opinions of physicians of the Czech health care system and of the changes going on in it. A number of things changed while this diploma thesis was being written, and the reform of the health care system did not proceed in the way it had been planned. I think that despite this the research results are useful and may be used as a basis for further research in this field, and thus enlarge information concerning this subject.
