Seamless care represents the continuous provision of safe and quality patient care by all involved healthcare professionals, and between and within different healthcare settings. Seamless pharmaceutical care was systemically introduced in the Slovenian healthcare system with the >>Pharmacy practice act<< in 2016. However, the actual activities involved in the provision of seamless pharmaceutical care in hospital are defined in the recently published Rules on the provision of pharmacy services in hospital pharmacy that will come into force in 2023. Focusing on pa tients at high risk of medication errors, collaboration between healthcare professionals and development of appropriate information technology is supposed to contribute most to the effectiveness of seamless pharmaceutical care activities. The implementation of seamless care into clinical practice could be based on the conclusions of the research studies, performed in Slovenia. Moreover, it would be beneficial to evaluate the effectiveness of seamless pharmaceutical care model as it is expected to be implemented in the Slovenian healthcare system.
