Improved survival requires transition from pediatric-focused to adult-centered cardiac care but this is not routinely performed. One recognized barrier to transition is a lack of physician education and training. There is little data on how to train pediatric residents to properly transition their pediatric patients to adult caregivers. Methods: An interactive web based module was prepared and reviewed by a panel of national experts in transitional care. The module was sent by individual e-mail to pediatric residents. Residents were asked to complete a pretest, review the module and watch the included videos and then complete a post test. The module and the tests take approximately 60 minutes to view and...

The REACH administrative, training, care planning, and staff monitoring systems are presented as a model for family-centered community-based case management.

As a result, many adolescents are unable to transfer to adult health care successfully. Adequate measurement of transition readiness and transfer satisfaction with disease management is necessary in order to determine areas to target for intervention towards improving transfer outcomes. This study aims to systematically review and critically appraise research on transition readiness and transfer satisfaction measures for adolescents with chronic illnesses as well as to assess the psychometric quality of these measures. Electronic searches were conducted in MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, PsychINFO, ERIC, and ISI Web of Knowledge for transition readiness and transfer satisfaction measures for adolescents with chronic health conditions. Two reviewers independently selected articles for review and assessed methodological quality. In all, eight readiness and six satisfaction measures met the inclusion criteria, for a total of 14 studies, which were included in the final analysis. None of these measures have well-established evidence of reliability and validity. Most of the measures were developed ad hoc by the study investigators, with minimal to no evidence of reliability and/or validity using the Cohen criteria and COSMIN checklist. This research indicates a major gap in our knowledge of transitional care in this population, because there is currently no well-validated questionnaire that measures readiness for transfer to adult health care. Future research must focus on the development of well-validated transition readiness questionnaires, the validation of existing measures, and reaching consensus on outcomes of successful transfer.

This article reviews the development and evaluation of health care transition policy over that period of time. These health care transition policies are discussed in light of the preliminary results from a qualitative study of the experience of health care transition. This article concludes with suggestions regarding future policy development and research efforts around health care transition.

This guide, intended for the staff of federal, state, and local programs that serve mothers and children, illustrates the basics of instructional videoconference production. A definition of IVC is provided, including linkage, interactivity, and crucial factors to consider when deciding whether or not to choose an IVC. Discussion then focuses on: instructional design goals; demographics and audience description; four types of delivery systems (satellite, cable, microwave, and digital telecommunicationn via phone lines or fiber optic systems); and costs. The steps involved in producing an IVL are also described and include: identifying a need; establishing a goal; determining a timetable; and developing a team which incorporates a content specialist, producer, instructional designer, audience specialist, and delivery system specialist. An example is provided of how an IVC may be achieved by marrying different delivery systems and technologies. (AEF)

The adolescent years are a time of change and development, and may be significantly affected by conditions such as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. Health care providers need to advocate and provide comprehensive, developmentally appropriate care for youth and families to facilitate the transition from the pediatric to the adult setting. The present article will review important aspects of the transition from the pediatric to the adult care health system.
