Transitions From Pediatric to Adult Care
This article is a brief overview of the complexity of the pediatric-to-adult care transition process.
The Pediatric population is broadly defined to include all children from birth to 21 years of age and, in special situations, to individuals older than 21 years until appropriate transition to adult health care is successful. This section contains structure, process and outcomes related to care coordination and transition management for the full age range for pediatric patients including the transition to adult care.
