Poslední úprava: PhDr. Mgr. Jana Votápková, Ph.D. (24.01.2024)
The course features a series of lectures on health economics issues. Lectures are complemented by seminars.
The course provides students with a framework to understand principles of health economics, but also to understand health systems (their funding, pooling of funds, financing, purchasing, and provision of health care, and regulation of health systems). Topics regarding performance, effectiveness, and quality of health systems are also discussed.
Learning goals of the course are for students to:
1/ understand health economic principles, market failures and theories associated with them
2/ understand functioning of health systems in developed countries, their fundamentals and recent developments
3/ understand measurements of health status, health system performance and efficiency
4/ understand efficiency measurements of healthcare providers
5/ use economic theory to explain motivation and behaviour of individual stakeholders
6/ use health economic theory and empirical findings to discuss up-to-date issues of health systems in developed countries
7/ assess proposed health policy and/or health systems changes using health economic theory and findings
8/ get an overview of empirical modelling in healthcare – most frequently used methods to assess health economics reforms and phenomena
9/ be aware of available datasets collecting health data and strategies to select topics for health economics research
10/ be able to design own health economics research
Populations of developed countries are ageing, chronic diseases prevalence is on rise, all resulting in rising demand for health care. Technological progress brings innovations that transform into new, usually more efficient and safer, but also costlier, ways of treating diseases. These effects put pressure on public budgets which are used to finance health care and pose question of health systems’ financial sustainability without compromising access to needed health care for all citizens. At the same time, there are number of examples of poor quality and ineffectiveness of resource utilization in public health systems. Thus, the importance of understanding health economics is increasing.
