New framework to manage medications at transitions of care

The Commission has released a Medication Management at Transitions of Care Stewardship Framework to support safe and high-quality medication management at transitions of care.

Are you a healthcare professional working in the acute, primary or aged care sector who manages medicines for patients at transitions of care?

The Commission has released a Medication Management at Transitions of Care Stewardship Framework to support safe and high-quality medication management at transitions of care. 

The Framework aims to improve communication between hospitals, and primary and aged care, and reduce the risk of medication-related harm during transitions of care.

What does the Framework include?

Underpinned by effective communication between clinicians, person-centred care and digital enablers, the new Framework includes four elements:

  1. Governing committee
  2. Multidisciplinary stewardship team
  3. Medication management activities
  4. Monitoring, evaluation and reporting 

Download the new Framework and overview to learn how you can optimise medication management at transitions of care in your local hospital.
