The Medication Management at Transitions of Care Stewardship Framework released in November 2025 provides the first coordinated, hospital-based approach to manage medicines during the high-risk period for patients who are transitioning between care settings.

The Framework was designed to support health services to reduce medication-related errors and hospital readmission rates for patients during transitions of care, when patients move between hospital and primary and aged care settings.

This issue includes items on air quality, reporting, maternity care, medication safety, and more. Along with the latest from The Joint Commission Journal on Quality and Patient Safety,  BMJ Quality & Safety, International Journal for Quality in Health Care, Emergency Medicine Australasia and JBI Evidence Synthesis. Also included are the latest from the Healthcare Excellence Canada and the UK’s NICE.
