Medication Management at Transitions of Care resource kit
Developed collaboratively by AdPha and the RACGP, the Medicines Management at Transitions of Care resource kit equips healthcare professionals with practical tools to enhance medication safety during patient transitions between care settings. This comprehensive kit includes three resources tailored for hospitals and general practices promoting best practices in collaborative care to ensure seamless continuity in medication management. Additionally, the kit offers a dedicated resource for consumers, empowering patients and their carers with essential information to actively participate in their medication management during transitions.
The three resources include:
-
Practice Update: Medication Management at Transitions of Care clearly defines the role of the hospital pharmacist, general practice pharmacist (GPP), and the general practitioner (GP) in delivering safe and quality medication management services to their patients transitioning between acute and primary care.
-
Resource for healthcare professionals: Safe Medication Management at Transitions of Care supports healthcare professionals in ensuring safe and effective medication management during patient transitions between care settings.
-
Resources for consumers: Medication safety when moving between the community and hospital helps consumers manage their medicines safely when moving between home and hospital.
