Abstract

Session presented on Saturday, April 9, 2016, and Friday, April 8, 2016:

The purpose of the practice improvement project is to develop an adolescent, young adult healthcare transition (AYAHT) program, develop training modules on the AYAHT program for clinic staff and conduct and evaluates the initial education on the AYAHT program for the clinic staff. The AYAHT program promotes transition for the AYA (14-21) with special healthcare needs followed in the outpatient pediatric rehabilitation department of a national pediatric health system. The significance and anticipated outcomes of this project are that AYA and their caregivers are provided a program to be implemented that fosters transition in a safe, effective, patient- centered efficient, timely and equitable manner.
