Original Abstract

Heath care system is an area where typical market conditions cannot be found. Institutions which are part of the health care system have got their specifics, i.e. their activities and duties are, to a great extent, influenced by the state. The aim of the paper is to briefly describe the health care market in the Czech Republic in contemporary information society. The authors based the paper on the fact that an important role is played by the heterogeneity of health services and information asymmetry on the patients side, which leads to them being disadvantaged on the health services market. There are applied methods of analysis, synthesis, primary and secondary research. For primary research purpose was done among the practitioners and this article shows some results of the subsequently performed analysis of the collected questionnaires. The secondary research was based on analysis of papers and literature published about health care market in the Czech Republic.
