The thesis reviews concepts relevant to the delivery and outcomes of pharmaceutical care (including drug therapy problems), on the basis of which a conceptual framework for measuring the quality of medication use is developed. The framework is applied to develop an instrument to retrospectively measure the quality of medication use, which is subsequently field tested as an instrument to support continuous quality improvement of medication use in community (Netherlands), inpatient (Germany) and hospital outpatient (Scotland) settings
