<abstract xml:lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">The first part of the paper summarizes the specifics of quality and its management in public administration. The second part introduces the approach of the Czech central government to quality management promotion in public administration with regard to classification of approaches proposed by Löffler and Vintar (2004). The approach is more converging to Löffler and Vintar's ‘hands-on’ and supportive approach rather than to passive or control-orientation approaches.</abstract>

Promotion Of Quality Management In Public Administration - The Approach Of Czech Central Government

<abstract xml:lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">Innovations play the key role in the today's globalized world economy. This is a fact which also the European Union is aware of. Therefore, it is concerned with the innovation support. And individual national economies focus on the characteristics that influence their innovation potential. Several various methods are used for the evaluation of the innovation efficiency, for example the Summary Innovation Index (SII), by the means of which the individual countries are assessed through 25 indicators. This contribution aims to find out which of the indicators involved in the method are available, so that this method could be used for the evaluation of the innovation efficiency of the individual regions at the level of NUTS3. For this purpose, the Regional Innovation Index (RII) has been defined and it uses 16 indicators, the same as or similar to the original methodology, to compare the regions of the Czech Republic. RII maintains the original weight ratio of innovation input and output dimensions. RII is used as a base for the creation of regional typology, which divides the regions into those considerably above average, those above average, the average ones, those below average and those considerably below average. Moreover, the results are compared with the conclusions of another study, which used a simpler methodology. This makes us able to draw final conclusions and also to define bases for further research.</abstract>

Innovation Performance of the Czech Regions

<abstract xml:lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">In comparison to other European countries, it is claimed that the Czech Republic belongs to the countries with higher health care consumption, even if health status does not positively correlate with health care use. Therefore, user fees as a form of patient cost sharing were introduced to regulate health care consumption and to confront the patient with resource scarcity in the health care system as a part of health care reform package in 2008. The goal of the paper is to determine the changes in health care consumption after user fees implementation and evaluate their regulatory effect in a short period of time. The analysis of the changes in health care consumption is made on the basis of data from the largest health insurance company - VZP ČR (60 % of the Czech population). The health care consumption is monitored according to particular types of health care services for particular age groups in years 2007, 2008 and 2009. This analysis identifies the major changes in the consumption after user fees implementation among the observed age groups of Czech population. Furthermore, it is possible to prove the regulatory effect of user fees in a short period of time (2 years).</abstract>
