    This 20-minute video provides a comprehensive overview of the importance of transitioning adolescents from pediatric to adult care, the goals of transition, the core elements of transition, stages of readiness, and the timing/logistics of transfer. 

    • Overview

      Poor transition and transfer of adolescents to adult care may lead to non-adherence, which may lead to complications of the disease. Transition and transfer are successful when all stakeholders work together, including adolescent, parent(s) or caregiver, pediatric gastroenterology team, and the adult gastroenterology team. At the end of this presentation, participants will be able to: ​

      1. Discuss the definition of, rationale for, timeline, and process of transition/transfer of care.​
      2. Identify effective tools that can be used for transition assessment, planning, and transfer.​
      3. Utilize a documentation template as patients prepare for transfer of care. ​
      4. Identify transition related resources.
