University Hospital in Motol

About

The University Hospital in Motol is one of the most important medical institutions in the Czech Republic. Its importance lies not only in the breadth of practiced medical disciplines and the capacity of workplaces but also in the almost unique homogeneous concentration of all operations in one location, specifically in two building monoblocs. In this way, specialized medical and nursing teams from many fields are grouped together, which, if necessary, can immediately unite and provide comprehensive and complete care. It is precisely the complexity and completeness that have been a long-standing idea of the hospital. A wide range of fields covers almost all issues of routine medical care and smoothly transitions to specialized and super-specialized care. For a number of medical workplaces in the Czech Republic, the University Hospital in Motol serves as a higher instance of cases that are already beyond their means. In recent years, thanks to strong specialization in some fields, especially pediatrics, the Motol hospital has become a destination for foreign patients. This makes it a world-renowned and well-known medical capacity that meets the global requirements of patient care. In 2006, an extensive reconstruction of the children's section of the hospital was started. For illustration only. 5,000 tons of material were demolished and removed. All statically damaged structures were repaired (statics were beyond safety). 4500 km of cable distribution systems were also newly installed, and the most modern technologies were installed. The newly reconstructed building of the children's part is designed in the shape of a cross, from which the individual arms have names according to the capital letters of the alphabet A, B, C, and D. The center forms a communication node and is marked with the letter S. Part of the building is a heliport, which allows rapid transport of the patient to the emergency room. Child up to 50 seconds and adult up to 5 minutes. Reconstruction of a separate wing C brought pediatric patients 10 floors of top-equipped bed rooms one floor of medical rooms; one floor of dairy kitchen 3 technical floors 186 beds Reconstruction of the remaining arms of the cross is planned for the next stages. However, it will not have such a big impact on the operation of the hospital because the restrictive center has already been created. This creates the conditions for the completion of the reconstruction of the entire Children's University Hospital in Motol.

Motol University Hospital defended its highly prestigious quality certificate with the United Accreditation Commission. The external audit, which the hospital underwent in the last week of January, dealt with the fulfillment of accreditation standards for hospitals. The result of the audit is the recognition that the hospital has met all quality standards and departmental safety indicators and created the conditions for the provision of quality and safe care. The level of provision of health services in terms of their quality and safety at the Motol University Hospital is assessed by an external evaluation of the quality and safety of health services. The hospital has implemented a quality and safety management system in accordance with the accreditation standards for hospitals of the United Accreditation Commission, which overlap and extend: Requirements for the internal quality and safety assessment system in the sense of the provisions of § 47 par. 3, let. b) of Act No. 372/2011 Coll., on health services and conditions of their provision, resp. minimum requirements according to the Bulletin of the Ministry of Health No. 16/2015, evaluation standards in the sense of §  98, paragraph 7, Act No. 372/2011 Coll., on health services and conditions of their provision, as amended. Minimum evaluation standards according to Decree No. 102/2012 Coll. on the evaluation of the quality and safety of inpatient care. The level of quality and safety of health services is evidenced by the Motol University Hospital's accreditation within the scope of the above-cited quality standards. The University Hospital in Motol has so far received accreditation from the Ministry of Health of the Czech Republic for a number of educational programs. Implements programs for nurses in the fields of perioperative care, anesthesiology, resuscitation, and intensive care; nursing care in pediatrics; intensive care in pediatrics; laboratory technicians in the fields of clinical biochemistry, medical immunology, hematology, and transfusion services; and health and social workers. The University Hospital in Motol was one of the first hospitals in the Czech Republic to join the international program Healthy Hospitals: Health Promoting Hospitals in 2003. In practice, this means that hospitals implement WHO-declared health promotion principles. Five health promotion standards have been developed within the program, focusing on patient needs assessment, patient information, interdisciplinary collaboration and continuity of care, healthy environment support, and management. Effectiveness and compliance with standards are assessed on the basis of measurable criteria in the form of self-assessment. The outputs of the self-assessment are used to determine corrective measures. An integral part is also the monitoring of the impact of corrective measures (e.g., increasing the availability of information and educational materials will strengthen the participation of patients in promoting their own health; the resulting effect will be found in the patient satisfaction survey).
