**3. Crisis management and healthcare**

As mentioned above, the security threats to the Czech Republic, but also the whole world have the character of naturogenic or anthropogenic. These may result in the power outage.

Act No. 458/2000 Coll. regulates energy in the crisis (Energy Act) and the decrees of the Ministry of Industry and Trade (Decree No. 80/2010 Coll., Decree No. 344/2012 Coll., Decree No. 225/2001 Coll.). Electricity for the population will be delivered according to the appropriate level of regulation, tripping, and frequency plan based on the specific situation [10].

The Ministry of Health of the Czech Republic is responsible for crisis management in health care. To that purpose, a crisis preparedness workplace is set up [23]. The Charter of Fundamental Rights and Freedoms states that everyone has the right to health protection. Citizens have the right to free healthcare and medical aid by public (health) insurance under the conditions laid down by law [24].

The Ministry of Health of the Czech Republic states that its role in crisis management is to ensure framework conditions for the provision of health care at the crisis by creating and enforcing state health policy [25].

Crisis preparedness in the health sector is defined as the ability of health care providers, and health care facilities to provide essential health care to the population locally relevant to administrative unit for emergency and crisis in the continuity of medical policy for the provision of health care by qualified personnel [25].

In the introduction of the chapter, the impact of crises on state security and threats to its infrastructures was mentioned. This subchapter describes crisis management in the hospitals.

Healthcare facilities are spaces for the provision of health services [26]. However, this concept includes not only hospitals but also therapeutic institutions, spa health facilities, general practitioners, and others.

For this research, a healthcare facility—a hospital was selected. A hospital is a medical facility licensed to provide health care, has many beds, an organized medical team of the requisite qualification, and offers continuous nursing services. Hospitals are divided by the number of beds to small (up to 700 beds) and large. They can also be classified by type of ownership into hospitals owned and administered by the state, public hospitals administered by regions, towns and municipalities, private hospitals or nonprofit hospitals, and hospitals based on a business principle [27].

The term healthcare is also defined, which can be considered a multidisciplinary field. Healthcare is modern medicine that represents a complex process that accumulates human knowledge from a wide range of disciplines, not just science, but also technical and social sciences. The collected data and acquired knowledge are thus used both for theoretical and scientific purposes, that is, for the development of the discipline as an academic discipline, as well as for the practical decisions of both political and managerial disciplines [28]. From the above definitions of health care, it is evident that there are also other disciplines, one of which is also computer science. It interferes with healthcare not only in the form of electronic patient cards but primarily as a national health register. Nowadays, information support for crisis management is also being used. The objective of information support is to simplify, streamline, and accelerate crisis management with the help of information systems.

As has been mentioned, healthcare is a multidisciplinary field, which also involves other interests. This work attempts to connect three branches, namely health, informatics, and crisis management.
