Balneological Care and Challenges of 21st Century

Original language description

In November 2013 the Research Institute of Balneology (VUB) has completed a strategic study called RIS3L Ústeckého kraje (RESEARCH INNOVATION STRATEGY 3 for spas of Ústí region). This study was supported and partially funded by the Ústí Region Fund. Project RIS3 of spa-industry in Ústí region after analytical evaluation formulates basic strategic innovation vision. Innovative development of traditional spa treatment technologies that use natural healing sources (NHS), must be based on: - Primarily knowledge of evidence-based medicine (EBM) approach. The criteria has to be medical effectiveness. This is very often unwillingly heard within the Czech spa environment. Sometimes It is inconceivable that in the future spas manage with traditional medical treatments under approach of EBM. Innovation using NHS in medical treatments in combination with a more effective use of drugs leads to clinical standards and best practices. This standardization must be checked HTA (Health Technology Assessment). Such a measure should health insurance companies to promote in their own interest and the interest of the patient and gradually to require it contractually. - Exact approach to the patient must also be applied by a personalized form. - Mentioned exactitude will entail changes in the management systems of the spa operators, including new information systems which, in addition to conventional processes, will work with the electronic health record. Further development of the spa treatment care will not only bring much higher demands on the knowledge and skills of providers (medical and physiotherapy staff), but also on appropriate systems for collecting, storing and processing increasing volumes of data, technical and semantic interoperability and systems supporting decision making . - Marketing will need to focus not only on the classic spa stays paid for by health insurance, but also on specialized medical tourism products, not only foreign but also domestic ones. - The decision making level of government, especially in the health sector will need to change its approach to preventive medical care. It is not possible to solve partial and isolated measures of preventive medical care (screening for breast, colorectal and cervical cancer, children's recreation type Seahorse) separately from system concept. Absence of preventive medical care leads to higher and ever increasing costs of medical care and it is reflected in the cost of treatment facilities (especially hospitals) and in the cost of drugs. It is therefore to formulate and defend innovative roles Czech spa as an important element of the effectiveness of primary preventive care and rehabilitation throughout the whole health service system.
