Patient safety issues are still a current problem, both for its impact on public health and for high economic burden. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate and discuss aspects associated with the safety culture in the provision of pharmacotherapy with emphasis on drug-related problems (DRP) and methods of their identification in the Czech Republic. DRPs are a link between healthcare professionals and medication review is a way by which pharmacists can manage DRPs at various levels.

Keywords: drug‑related problem, medication review, clinical pharmacy, pharmaceutical care.
