Abstract The goals: The goal of the present thesis is to describe the principles of safe identification of patients by a nurse and the application of the medicines with higher risk rate. Another goal is to define procedures for prevention of a confusion of an intervention, a location or a patient at the operation theatre and to characterize the hand hygiene procedures in healthcare. The next goal was to describe a programme of prevention and reduction of falls and decubiti in hospitalized patients. The last goal focuses on the oral and telephonic prescription of medicines, on the reporting of patient examination results, and on the procedure of patient handover. Eight research questions were set in relation to these goals. Methodology: A qualitative research method based on in-depth interviews was chosen to reach the goals of the thesis. The intentional choice method was chosen for the selection of the communication partners. The research was performed in three selected hospitals of the South Bohemia Region. 20 communication partners participated in the anonymous questioning. The in-depth interviews were performed with a head nurse, with a quality manager, with perioperative nurses, with nurses from a neurology department and an after-care department. Scientific contributions of the thesis: The research deals with the current safety problems of hospitalized patients. The scientific results of the research are intended for both, specialist and the general public. The research study could serve to hospital managements as a stimulus for the improvement of the safety in the healthcare provision system. The achieved findings and conclusions: Hospitalization always brings some risk to a patient. From the point of view of the minimizing of adverse events and damage to a patient healthcare staff need to identify a patient safely, to apply risky medicines in safe manners, to prevent adverse events in operations, to adhere to the hand hygiene and the barrier nursing techniques. The healthcare staff also have to proceed correctly in the oral or telephonic prescription of medicines, in reporting of patient examination results, and in the patient handover procedures. It is in also the interest of the healthcare staff to minimize the risk of falls and to prevent the occurrence of decubiti in hospitalized patients.
