Abstract     Clinical practice means dealing with safety measures regarding prescription, distribution and use of medications. Safety of medicine distribution is subject to several risk factors. Distribution of medications can be disturbed by: illegible treatment prescription, lack of prescribed generic medicine, disturbances by other staff members, phone calls and attendance to patients' needs. Risk of process or clinical mistakes thus increases. By observation, our team in General Hospital Jesenice has identified factors and causes of mistakes regarding preparation and distribution of medications. We have determined that this kind of mistakes occurred in 19 % of cases. Large percentage of disturbances during preparation and delivery of medications was caused by refilling medications stocks, which was confirmed by improperly organized medication delivery trolley. As patient safety is an important principle of healthcare quality, systemic solutions need to be established in order to prevent the occurrence of undesirable events.
