Description The necessity of a healthcare system reform has been discussed in the Czech Republic over a decade. Different interpretations of health reform process struggles in the Czech Republic can be offered. In this paper, the roots of repeated healthcare reform failures are searched in the lack of communication among the most important players at the healthcare market. The aim of the paper was to identify the groups in the healthcare sector and to determine their influence in the Czech healthcare system. The paper represents results from an empirical study effectuated during spring 2009. Managed interviews with elite representatives of selected interest groups were conducted, they consisted of structured and semi-structured questions that gathered information about influence reputations, informal communications, coalitions, and other strategic behaviour.
