Abstract
<p class="first" id="d2957382e64">Risk and vulnerability encompass many dimensions
of the transition from adolescence
to adulthood. Transition from pediatric, parent-supervised health care to more independent,
patient-centered adult health care is no exception. The tenets and algorithm of the
original 2011 clinical report, "Supporting the Health Care Transition from Adolescence
to Adulthood in the Medical Home," are unchanged. This updated clinical report provides
more practice-based quality improvement guidance on key elements of transition planning,
transfer, and integration into adult care for all youth and young adults. It also
includes new and updated sections on definition and guiding principles, the status
of health care transition preparation among youth, barriers, outcome evidence, recommended
health care transition processes and implementation strategies using quality improvement
methods, special populations, education and training in pediatric onset conditions,
and payment options. The clinical report also includes new recommendations pertaining
to infrastructure, education and training, payment, and research.
