Abstract

Drug-related problems (DRPs) are a significant and often preventable cause for morbidity and mortality. Hospitalization is associated with a high risk for DRPs, especially due to a lack of information transfer at transitions of care. At the same time, interventions during inpatient treatment usually require a change in drug therapy and additionally increase the risk of DRPs. Thereby, DRPs can occur at all levels of the medication process and can be caused by different groups of professionals. One way to improve medication safety in hospitals is to integrate clinical pharmacists into the medication process.According to available data, the integration of a clinical pharmacist in multi-professional teams during admission, hospitalization and discharge can significantly reduce DRPs, costs and increases efficacy of drug therapy. In addition, drug supply with unit-dose systems in combination with digitalization of the medication process can achieve an improvement in medication safety. Improvement in continuity of medical care through a structured medication review and seamless transmission of medically relevant information upon discharge contribute to a significant reduction of hospital readmissions and emergency admissions due to ABPs, as well as health costs. With a university education, the hospital pharmacist specialized in clinical pharmacy is the only professional group that can comprehensively support the physician in the field of drug therapy.
