In this presentation, join Rodolfo Curiel, MD, FACP, FACR, and Rebecca Sadun, MD, Ph.D., review strategies for parents to aid JM kids in their transition from pediatric to adult care.
The transition aims to optimize health and assist youth in reaching their full potential. Common steps to prepare for transition include:
- Establishing a policy
- Tracking progress
- Administering transition
- Conducting readiness assessments
- Planning for adult care
- Transferring and integrating into an adult practice
Preparing for the transition to adult care may begin with patients beginning to take an age-appropriate role in their care as early as the tween years.
