Abstract
The submitted study deals with the contemporary problems on financing the inpatient follow-up care (aftercare) and long-term care in the Czech Republic. It is relying on data collected from individual establishments during an on-site survey and is seeking to bridge the gap caused by a lack of economic information on these types of inpatient care - less visible but the more important.
While the first part describes the origin and the history of this type of care after 1989 (incl. the legislative framework and the up-to-date positon within the Czech healthcare system), the second one brings unique results of an extensive cost analysis. This has been carried out in 61 establishments of the inpatient after-care and long-term care with total 8.768 beds in the Czech Republic.
More than 30 tables gives then the possibility to gain an authentic view on these serious problems of the Czech after-care and long-term care and indicate the ways of their solution.
