Draft Medication Management at Transitions of Care Stewardship Framework

Overview

Are you a health organisation or a healthcare professional working in the acute, primary or aged care sector involved in managing medicines for patients at transitions of care?

Do you want to help shape a national framework to optimise the use of medicines at transitions of care and reduce the risk of medication related harm? 

The Commission has developed a draft Medication Management at Transitions of Care Stewardship Framework (the Framework) which aims to:

• Support coordinated governance of medication management at transitions of care
• Promote and optimise appropriate medicines management practices at transitions of care
• Reduce hospital re-admission rates due to medication errors that occur at discharge
• Improve hospital referral pathways to primary and community healthcare providers
