WHAT I DO:

Work as CEO of the University Center for Healthcare Quality in coordinating programs of health system quality management (Standards of Efficient Medical Care, performance measurement, management tools implementation and general „principles and philosophy“ of quality implementation). Use hypertext and fulltext based approach for medical information management. Teach superb students of the Brno Medical School of the Masaryk University to understand and use information and communication (skills, attitudes, benefits, limitations, risks and technologies) as support for their activities and in preparation of their future professional needs. Perform IVF and other forms of of assisted reproduction treatment. Can do this as a one-man-show both gynecology and the embryology lab part (cannot decide what I like doing more). Work with DG SANCO Health Systems Working Party, CEESTAHC (Central and Eastern European Society for Technology Assessment in Health Care www.ceestahc.org), EFQM Health Sector Group and anyone else interested in quality, accountability, improvement in healthcare and education. Constantly on the lookout for tools enabling easier real-time access to and management of data, information, knowledge, concepts. Love to think, reflect, ski, hike and spend time with my family and friends - who tolerate my activities (My wife Ludmila heads the haematological morphology lab of the second largest University hospital in Czech Rep., my daughter Elisabeth has a masters degree in nursing with her thesis focused on teamwork in healthcare and son Jan is a pediatritian with some of his activities to be found at http://oual.rajce.idnes.cz/ . I enjoy traveling, meeting with people and hosting people when they come to the Czech Republic. And in slips of free time I still work as a general gynecologist, serving the wonderful population of Czech and foreign women.
