title: [Feasibility of the implementation of medication reconciliation in Hungary].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  For medication safety improvement medication reconciliation was proven to be an effective method transferable between different healthcare providers and ward profiles.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  Gaining a better understanding of the process of reconciling medicines. Mapping the driving and restraining forces of introducing medication reconciliation.
  
  
  METHODS
  A search of the literature was conducted. 19 databases were searched using 7 different search engines. The relevance of the papers was rated by two independent experts. Data were extracted based on a previously compiled extraction tool.
  
  
  RESULTS
  230 articles were evaluated. Limits and driving forces of implementing medication reconciliation were set out. Often mentioned implementation obstacles were: communication issues, disengagement of the leaders, unpredictable resources and competence problems. Recommendations mainly consisted of process redesign techniques, presentation of cost-effectiveness data and arranging special training for staff.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  For improvement of medication safety in Hungarian hospitals implementing medication reconciliation should be considered. The conclusion of ongoing on-site trials as well as limits and success factors identified in this paper should taken into account.
