Organization and Planning of Corporate Education in the Czech Republic

The aim of this paper was to determine by means of a questionnaire survey to what extent large and medium-sized companies in the Czech Republic apply a systematic approach to education. This is, amongst other things, dependent on the existence of long-term and annual education plans and on whether the education is organized systematically by a personnel department or by a dedicated staff department focused on education. Two hypotheses were set. The first, that in at least 70 % of large companies and 50 % of medium-sized company education is organized by a personnel department or a separate staff department focused on education. The second, that at least 70 % of large companies and 50 % of medium-sized companies have a long-term education plan, including an annual education plan, in place. Although neither of the hypotheses were confirmed, it was proven that large companies approach the issue of corporate education in a more systematic way than medium-sized ones.

Effectiveness of on-site education for quality assurance of screening ultrasonography for hepatocellular carcinoma

Objective: To evaluate the usefulness of on-site education for clinical imaging evaluation using quality assurance (QA) testing of surveillance ultrasonography (US) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Material and methods: Thirty-eight medical institutes underwent on-site education in 2012 for QA testing of clinical imaging evaluation of surveillance US for HCC. Failure rates and mean scores of clinical imaging evaluation for surveillance US of the 2011 survey, the 2012 survey after on-site education and the 2013 survey were compared. Results: Failure rates and mean scores of the 2011 survey, the 2012 survey after education and the 2013 survey were 81.6%, 18.4%, 21.1% and 61.7, 82.7 and 74.6, respectively. Pair-wise analyses demonstrated that the failure rate of the 2011 survey was significantly larger compared to that observed in the other surveys. Mean score of the 2013 survey was worse than that of the 2012 survey after on-site education. Conclusions: On-site education positively impacts the failure rate and scores of clinical imaging evaluation of screening US for HCC. However, the impact may be reduced over time, and repeated, annual education might be necessary to maintain US quality.
