This thesis concerns with the functioning of coordinated team co-operation in organizations which provide social services to persons after acquired brain injury. Due to the frequency of occurrence and its deadful impact, these injuries become one of the most serious diseases not only in the Czech Republic but in the world. A person who has suffered brain injury is struggling with a number of socio-economic changes. A precondition for achieving full social integration of this individual is to ensure timely care and cooperation of individual experts on the given case. Such cooperation among experts is often missing in interconnected organizations. This can cause slowdown of the process of integration of an individual back to their everyday life. Equally important is the cooperation with family members who have an irreplaceable influence on the rehabilitation. The thesis is divided into two parts - theoretical and research. The theoretical part focuses on the consequences of acquired brain injury as well as on the the possibilities of social security provided by the state. Also, much of the text concerns with the coordinated rehabilitation and multidisciplinary collaboration which has a significant impact on improving the quality of life of people after brain injury. The data collection was carried out with the help of the method of qualitative research strategy, the technique of semi-structured interview with social workers in organizations of the city of Ceske Budejovice who provide social services according to Act 108/2006 Coll., on social services, as amended. The research is aimed at finding out how the coordinated rehabilitation is implemented in social services working with persons after acquired brain injury and then to create a proposal to streamline the implementation of coordinated rehabilitation in these organizations. Following the objectives, two research questions were examined: Which experts are involved in coordinated rehabilitation in social services providing services to people after brain injury? How is the cooperation of the team working with people after brain injury implemented? The data was processed in Atlas.ti 7. The research was carried out within the successfully accepted project at the Faculty of Health and Social Sciences, called Coordinated rehabilitation of patients with brain injury (reg. No. GAJU 138/2016/S), funded by the Grant Agency of the University of South Bohemia. The research results show insufficient cooperation of experts in social services providing care to persons with acquired brain injury. In spite of an acute need of coordinated and multidisciplinary support to such persons, the organizations miss specific professionals or employ workers who carry out works of other professions without the necessary qualification. The time, organizational and financial demands of teamwork make it impossible to provide high-quality multidisciplinary care, which is an important precondition for reintegration of people with brain injury back into work and social life. Team multidisciplinary cooperation brings a lot of positives, on the other hand, it also encounters barriers, which need to be further discussed in order to come to suitable solutions that are not only in the interest of the client and his family, but also great for the whole multidisciplinary team.
