Commentary on Article Černý V, Adamus M. Future, priorities and strategic objectives of the field of anesthesiology and intensive medicine - results of the survey among the heads of faculty workplaces
Abstract
Colleagues Černý and Adamus have enriched this issue of the journal Anesthesiology and Intensive Medicine with an untraditional article. What visions, what are the most important leaders in the future of anesthesia and intensive medicine and its direction? The 170th anniversary of the first administration of general anesthesia in Bohemia and Moravia calls for such thought.
Leaders of top-class workplaces - 10 of the 14 respondents answered - are well placed to think of this, perhaps with the exaggeration to say they have it "in the job description". They participate in pre-graduate and postgraduate classes, lecture at expert meetings, solve research tasks.
As a respectable and respected executive, they affect the operation of whole healthcare facilities, participate in, or participate in, the meetings and decisions of major committees such as the accreditation or accreditation committees. Some of them are members of the Czech Society of Anaesthesiology, Resuscitation and Intensive Medicine.
They work in it and have the ability to influence its course and direction. Of course, we can not overlook that their view will necessarily be affected by the exclusivity of their position - opinions of others, more than hundreds of leading ARO staff in regional, district or city hospitals, with different patient patterns, different levels and agendas of cooperative disciplines, various staffing and material facilities and economic opportunities may vary.
Let us not forget that these workplaces provide roughly two-thirds of the volume of professional activities according to a qualified estimate, and the views or attitudes of these mayors are not less important than the opinions addressed.
