Abstract

This article covers both patient safety issues and optimising medicine use, this national initiative is known as Transfers of Care around Medicine (TCAM). When a patient moves from one care setting to another, this is known as a transfer of care. When transfers of care occur there is an increased risk of adverse effects due, in part, to medication errors arising. This article asserts that a relatively small investment can generate significant cost avoidances; thereby delivering significant financial, economic and social benefits to the health community as well as enhancing patient safety.
