Hospital seamless care beyond medication reconciliation: a 1-year evaluation in a Slovenian general hospital.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveTo evaluate a hospital seamless care service by characterizing medication discrepancies identified during medication reconciliation and documenting additional clinical pharmacy activities performed throughout hospitalization.
methodsA retrospective observational study was conducted at the General Hospital Murska Sobota, Slovenia. All hospital admissions in which the hospital seamless care service was completed between 1 January and 31 December 2025 were included. Patient characteristics, medication discrepancies identified at hospital admission and discharge, additional clinical pharmacy activities, discharge medication supply, and differences between medical and surgical departments were analyzed.
resultsA total of 1813 seamless care episodes were included. At least one unintended medication discrepancy at hospital admission was identified in 391 episodes (21.6%), with medication omission being the most frequent discrepancy. At hospital discharge, the most common discrepancies were omitted medications in discharge summaries and missing prescriptions for newly initiated medications. Beyond medication reconciliation, at least one additional clinical pharmacy activity was documented in 341 episodes (18.8%). Seamless care episodes in medical departments included a significantly higher total number of clinical pharmacy activities within the seamless care service than those in surgical departments (p < 0.001). All prescribed discharge medications were supplied directly to patients in 439 seamless care episodes (24.2%).
conclusionMedication reconciliation alone does not fully capture the scope of hospital seamless care. A substantial proportion of seamless care episodes involved additional clinical pharmacy activities throughout hospitalization. Comprehensive documentation of clinical pharmacy activities can provide a more complete evaluation of seamless care services and facilitate benchmarking across hospitals.
