New framework to support safer medication management at transitions of care
Are you a healthcare professional working in acute, primary or aged care who manages medicines during transitions of care?
The Commission has released the Medication Management at Transitions of Care Stewardship Framework to support safe, high-quality medication practices and reduce the risk of harm during transitions between care settings.
The Framework aims to improve communication between hospitals, primary care and aged care services, and is built on principles of person-centred care, clinical collaboration and digital enablement.
The Framework includes four key elements:
Governing committee
Multidisciplinary stewardship team
Medication management activities
Monitoring, evaluation and reporting
