Research activities play an important role. The research is oriented towards process modelling, particularly in the context of healthcare facilities, emergency situations, major incidents, geographical information systems in emergency planning, and medical visualization. Members of the department concentrate on the development and application of information technologies in all the mentioned fields. By actively participating in both local and international conferences, the department has established valuable co-operations with national and foreign universities.

The department has been involved in international projects creating centres and methodologies for healthcare management education and for regional healthcare policies.

Department’s research projects have been supported by Czech Science Foundation, Foundation of Ministry of Health, and Foundation of Ministry of Defence.
