With each transition of care (as patients move between health providers and settings), patients are vulnerable to changes, including changes in their health care team, health status, and medications. Discrepancies and miscommunication are common and lead to serious medication errors, especially during hospital admission and discharge.
Countries and organizations need to optimize patient safety as patients navigate the health care system by setting long-term leadership commitment, defining goals to improve medication safety at transition points of care, developing a strategic plan with short- and long-term objectives, and establishing structures to ensure goals are achieved.
At this webinar, we will introduce the WHO technical report on “Medication Safety in Transitions of Care,” including the key strategies for improving medication safety during transitions of care.
The session will be available in English, French and Spanish.
