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:
- Governing committee
- Multidisciplinary stewardship team
- Medication management activities
- 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.
