Popis: Stress response is a particularly good model of the reorganization of networks. Stress effect induces a significant decrease in the overlaps and connections of network modules. We have built a health care provider network based on patient's clinical pathways. We have analyzed changes in network dynamics using a 180 day wide moving window analysis moving by 30 day wide steps. We observed that after appearing of new tertiary care service both average node degree and average module number are increased. But after an adaptation time has elapsed both of network characteristic numbers are decreased. Conclusion that network stress situation did not mean that a new tertiary care provider appeared but when the old one was disconnected from the examined subnetwork.
