You need to make sure that all of your indexed URL's are re-directed to the corresponding new URL's. That is the best you can do if you are changing the site's URL structure.

Additionally, make sure these redirects are proper 301 redirects, that set the correct headers - it is this 301 header that will ensure you don't loose rankings when moving content. A framed redirect of basic redirect won't do this.
